Key result
Obesity is generally associated with weakened connectivity in the executive control network and enhanced connectivity in the salience and default mode networks.
Why the study?
The review aimed to summarize current knowledge regarding how obesity and eating behavior relate to functional brain networks, describe common patterns, and provide recommendations for future research.

Network disruptions may underlie obesity-related dysregulation; leaves open causal directions and intervention targets.
This review highlights that obesity and disordered eating are associated with specific disruptions in functional brain networks, particularly the ECN, SN, and DMN.
Donofry et al. (2019) conducted a review in Obesity and eating behavior. Obesity and eating behavior was evaluated on Functional brain network organization. Obesity is generally associated with weakened connectivity in the executive control network and enhanced connectivity in the salience and default mode networks.
