Taste Reward Processing in Pediatric Obesity
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01908153
Purpose
The study aims to provide a better understanding of the neural influence of eating behavior
in the development of childhood obesity. Children ages 4-8 will be recruited to examine fMRI
brain response to pictures that signal delivery of a chocolate milkshake and to the taste
itself. The brain response will be compared to body mass index percentile scores for each
child to help us determine whether brain differences present in adolescents and adults with
obesity are present in young children.
