This award funds a research project investigating the relationship between neural satiation signaling and obesity risk in adolescents, aiming to understand obesity risk factors and guide prevention programs.
Description
A study to test whether healthy weight youth at high-risk for obesity show weaker neural satiation signaling than low-risk youth, and to examine the impact of satiation signaling on future weight gain and obesity risk using neuroimaging and behavioral assessments.
