Collaborative work with Filip Morys and Annette Horstmann from the MPI Leipzig on decision-making in obese people

New paper published in Scientific Reports, reporting work led by Filip Morys and Annette Horstmann from the Max Planck Institute CBS Leipzig, shows how incidental cues can bias obese people's decision-making.

In this study, we tested obese human subjects on a primed delay discounting paradigm using gustatory and visual cues of positive, neutral and negative valence to bias their intertemporal preferences. We further investigated how these effects would be reflected in modulation of activity and connectivity in prefrontal cortex.
