So far, 48 younger participants across a wide weight-range (BMI: 18–38) were investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during a hedonic food processing task after receiving intranasal insulin (160UI) or placebo in a cross-over design after an overnight fast. Imaging results during the placebo session re...
