Quote:They argue that their findings support the Reward Deficit and the Inhibitory Control Deficit theories of obesity. The Reward Deficit Theory postulates that obese individuals overeat to compensate for a lowered responsivity of reward brain regions in response to food consumption, possibly as a result of dopamine deficiency. The Inhibitory Control Deficit theory proposes that frontal brain regions responsible for higher-level cognitive control are less effective at inhibiting behaviors, making such individuals more sensitive to temptation of appetizing foods, which they are less able to inhibit, leading to overeating.
