Average voxel-wise non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) maps superimposed on MRI images in sagittal view. Data are presented for [11C]carfentanil BPND of the 5 minipigs imaged at baseline, after initial exposure to sucrose and after 12 days of sucrose exposure (top row). [11C]carfentanil BPND of all 7 minipigs imaged at baseline and after 12 days of sucrose access are presented in the middle row. [11C]raclopride BPND of all 7 minipigs imaged at baseline and after 12 days of sucrose access are shown in the bottom row. Note that the color scale is exponential to highlight the [11C]raclopride BPND in extrastriatal regions.
Walnuts May Help You Lose Weight By Controlling Your Mind
No nut is going to control me, you may say. You are your own person. You eat what you want when you want. But science may say otherwise about walnuts.
Neuroscientist: Your brain reacts very similarly to drugs as it does to high calorie food

Researchers unlock mechanisms in brain that separate food consumption from cravings
Researchers investigating eating disorders often study chemical and neurological functions in the brain to discover clues to overeating. Understanding non-homeostatic eating — or eating that is driven more by palatability, habit and food cues — and how it works in the brain may help neuroscientists determine how to control cravings, maintain healthier weights and promote healthier lifestyles.

Chocolate Para Mantenerte En Forma
Amo mi chocolate amargo, y mientras me cuido mucho con las calorías de los helados o dulces, casi a diario como mucho cacao orgánico con mi cereal por las mañanas, aparte de un licuado de kale y uno o dos pedazos de chocolate amargo con mi copa de vino tinto. Leer Más
