Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences in brain activity in rest and in reactivity (BOLD signal) upon oro-sensory exposure to food, between hungry and progressive satiated states. <br /><br><br /><br>Regions of interest (ROI) are:<br /><br>•Satiation: Brainstem (dorsal vagal complex (DVC), nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), parabrachial nucleus (PBN)), Hypothalamus<br /><br>•Taste perception: primary: Insula, overlying operculum, secondary: orbitofrontal cortex, Thalamus<br /><br>•Reward: striatum (nucleus accumbens, Putamen), amygdala, Hippocampus, Midbrain (Ventral tregmental area (VTA), substantia nigra), medial pre frontal cortex.<br /><br><br /><br>In addition to these ROI we are interested in brain activity networks (functional connectivity).<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary outcome is stomach filling (ml) measured by MRI.
