In this study the potential of network-targeted transcranial direct current stimulation (net-tDCS) to modulate brain regions involved in appetite control was explored. The aim was to investigate whether stimulating the hypothalamus and its connected networks … Continue reading net-tDCS to modulate appetite control
Gestational Diabetes Affects Children’s Brain Response to Food
In this study Sixiu Zhao and colleagues show that children exposed to gestational diabetes in the womb have stronger brain responses to food cues, particularly in reward-related regions. Using fMRI, they found increased connectivity between … Continue reading Gestational Diabetes Affects Children’s Brain Response to Food
