Altered hippocampal effective connectivity predicts BMI and food approach behavior in children with obesity
These findings point to a particularly important role of abnormal information exchange between the hippocampus and somatosensory cortex in pediatric obesity and future food approach behavior, which provide novel insights into the neural hierarchical mechanisms underlying childhood obesity and further expand the spDCM model of adult obesity by identifying the directionality of abnormal influences between crucial circuits associated with appetitive regulation.
