Neuromodulation directed at the prefrontal cortex of subjects with obesity reduces snack food intake and hunger in a randomized trial
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Oct 25, 2017
Heinitz S, et al. - This article was composed with the objective to test whether repeated anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeted at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (compared with sham tDCS) immediately affects eating behavior amid ad libitum food consumption, resulting in weight change and whether it might impact longer-term food intakeÂrelated appetite ratings in individuals with obesity. The current study showed that the short-term anodal tDCS of the left DLPFC did not immediately affect ad libitum food consumption or thereby weight change, relative to sham tDCS. They also noted that the hunger and snack food intake were decreased only after a longer period of anodal tDCS in individuals with obesity.
