    Dieting Success May Be Hardwired In the Brain

    A new research paper published in Cognitive Neuroscience studied the connections between the executive control and reward systems in the brain, and discovered the ability to self-regulate a healthy body weight may be dependent on individual brain structure.

    Obesity and dieting are increasingly common in contemporary society, and many dieters struggle to lose excess weight. The findings of the paper by Chen et al show that dieting success may be easier for some people because they have an improved white matter pathway connecting the executive control and reward systems in their brain.

    Chronic dieters are known to show excessive reactions to food cues in executive control and reward areas of the brain, in addition to having depleted cognitive control and over-rewarding with high calorie foods in real life situations. Chen et al took a group of 36 chronic dieters, with mean body fat of 29.6%, and asked them to make simple judgments on images in order to divert their attention from the real aim of the task. The activity carried out was a food cue reactivity task designed to localize the executive control and reward areas in the brain, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). After localizing the executive control and reward areas, Chen et al used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to identify the white matter track connecting these areas in order to quantify the integrity within this tract.

    The fMRI results demonstrated that dieters showed greater reactivity to food images than control images. The DTI results further showed that those with lower body fat percentages showed greater white matter integrity between executive control and reward areas of the brain. The findings support their hypothesis that structural integrity connecting the two centers relates to individual differences in body fat and is an indication of dieting success. The authors state, “Individuals with reduced integrity may have difficulty in overriding rewarding temptations, leading to a greater chance of becoming obese than those with higher structural integrity.”

    The authors urge future continued longitudinal research to establish whether repetitive dieting in itself could cause alteration in white matter integrity, exacerbate the executive control and reward communications and result in more entrenched obesity for the individual.
