Abstract
⺠Using fMRI, we studied 10 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for restrained eating. ⺠Restrained eaters' response to food cues differed from their unrestrained co-twins. ⺠Brain areas implicated include the amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex, and occipital lobe. ⺠Differences were independent of genetic or familial factors.
