U.S., June 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07638059) titled 'The Influence of Obesity and Insulin Sensitivity on Reward Processing and Decision Making' on May 28.
Brief Summary: Reward learning and decision-making processes, which operate largely outside of conscious control, shape food choices and eating behaviors. Excess adiposity is associated with differences in brain structure and functional connectivity underlying these processes, and insulin resistance, which commonly co-occurs with excess adiposity, has been linked with dopamine signaling that is crucial for these processes. However, whether and how excess adiposity and insulin resistance affect reward learning and decision-making rem...
