fMRI reactivity on a delay discounting task predicts weight gain in obese women
Abstract
Obesity can be accompanied by abnormalities in executive function and related neural circuitry. A useful task for studying executive function is delay discounting (DD), in which an individual chooses between sooner and delayed, but greater, amounts of money or other commodities. We previously found that obese compared to normal-weight women made more immediate choices on a monetary DD task, or had greater delay discounting. In the present study, we performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of obese women during performance of a DD of money task. Confirming the results of previous studies, we found that more difficult compared to easy DD trials resulted in activation in putative executive function areas of the brain, the middle and inferior frontal gyri, and medial prefrontal cortex. Most interestingly, we also found that less activation in executive function areas such as the inferior, middle, and superior frontal gyri on difficult vs. easy DD trials predicted a greater rate of weight gain over the subsequent 1.3-2.9 years. These results suggest that suboptimal functioning of executive function areas such as prefrontal cortex contributes to the progression of obesity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
