Participant Characteristics.

<p>For age, BMI, food preference, and FRPQ subscales, values are presented as mean (standard deviation). NW  =  normal-weight; OV/OB  =  overweight/obese. BMI indicates body mass index, based on height and weight obtained during testing.</p

Normal-weight group (n = 14).

<p><i>Left</i>: plot of correlation between high-calorie vs. nonfood objects contrast during premeal scan in the left amygdala and FRPQ Impairment of Satiety subscale score. <i>Right</i> top: activation of left amygdala to high-calorie food vs. nonfood objects (Talairach coordinates x, y, z: −26, −8, −14, t = 4.31, p<.0008, cluster threshold >5 voxels, FDR corrected at p<.05). Right and left are reversed by radiologic convention. <i>Right bottom:</i> magnitude of average activation for high-calorie foods and nonfood objects for right amygdala at premeal. Beta values reflect BOLD contrast averaged across voxels in region for condition type.</p

Overweight/obese group (n = 21).

<p><i>Top Section</i>, <i>left</i>: plot of correlation between low-calorie vs. nonfood objects contrast during postmeal scan in the right putamen and FRPQ Impairment of Satiety subscale score. <i>Top Section, right</i>: magnitude of average activation for low-calorie foods and nonfood objects in the right putamen (Talairach coordinates x, y, z: 27, 3, −4) at postmeal scan. Beta values reflect BOLD contrast averaged across voxels in region for condition type. <i>Bottom Section</i>, <i>left</i>: plot of correlation between low-calorie vs. nonfood objects contrast during postmeal scan in the right amygdala and FRPQ Impairment of Satiety subscale score. <i>Bottom Section, right</i>: magnitude of average activation for low-calorie foods and nonfood objects in the right amygdala (Talairach coordinates x, y, z: 24, −7, −9) at postmeal scan. Beta values reflect BOLD contrast averaged across voxels in region for condition type.</p
