Our latest research by 𝐃𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤, shows that our brains continue to respond strongly to tempting foods even when we’re full. Using real-time brain scans, the study helps explain why resisting snacks can be difficult and highlights the role our environment plays in shaping eating behaviour.

Devaluation insensitivity of event related potentials associated with food cues

Eating in the absence of hunger represents a failure of homeostatic mechanisms responsible for energy balance and is a cause of obesity. The pervasive…
