Consequently, you need to reprogram your brain; even after surgery.

The image shows 123-iodine iodobenzamide imaging of the striatum, revealing striatal dopamine D2-like receptor availability in obesity and bariatric surgery.

Obesity has been linked to behavioral & brain changes related to #overeating. @ribeirogabri.bsky.social &co show that post-ingestive nutrient stimulation influences human food choices via behavioral reinforcement, conserved in #obesity & after bariatric surgery 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/4fmaT8Z

Postingestive reward acts through behavioral reinforcement and is conserved in obesity and after bariatric surgery Obesity has been associated with altered reward-related eating behavior and brain changes that may be related to overeating.
