Abstract

Food-related brain activation is a term used for the alterations in brain activity that occurs in response to food cues, such as the sight or smell of food. Whenever a person sees, smells, or tastes food, a complex network of neural circuits is stimulated; this releases neurotransmitters such as dopamine and opioids [1]. These neural circuits are interconnections between several areas of the brain that are involved in processing food cues such as the prefrontal cortex, insula, amygdala, hippocampus, and striatum [2].
