Mind reading: Spatial patterns of brain activity decode what people taste
A team of researchers from the German Institute of Human Nutrition in Potsdam and the Charite University Hospital in Berlin have revealed how taste is encoded in patterns of neural activity in the…

Study Identifies Neural Activity Linked To Food Addiction
Persons with an addictive-like eating behavior appear to have greater neural activity in certain regions of the brain similar to substance dependence, including elevated activation in reward circuitry in response to food cues, according to a report posted online today that will appear in the August print issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals…
