The right brain hypothesis for obesity
Article Abstract:
Cognitive neuroscientists and researchers studying energy balance are teaming together for studying the right brain hypothesis for obesity. Neuromodulation-based methods might help in assessing the benefits of enhancing the activity of right prefrontal cortex (PFC), as it decreases appetite and reestablish inhibitory mechanisms controlling eating, as well as improve long-term adherence to interventions.
