Neuroimaging biomarkers to associate obesity and negative emotions

Abstract Obesity is a serious medical condition highly associated with health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, and stroke. Obesity is highly associated with negative emotional states, but the relationship between obesity and emotional states in terms of neuroimaging has not been fully explor...

description Abstract Obesity is a serious medical condition highly associated with health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, and stroke.
