Weight Loss Success Tied to Self-Control Brain Regions

New research suggests that higher-level brain functions play a major role in losing weight.

In a new study at a weight-loss clinic, those who lost the most amount of weight demonstrated more activity in the brain regions of the lateral prefrontal cortex associated with self-control.

“What we found is that in humans, the control of body weight is dependent largely on the areas of the brain involved in self-control and self-regulation,” said Dr. Alain Dagher of the Montreal Neurological...
