Study Summary
The purpose of this research is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing the impact of CBT on neural responses to binge eating stimuli.
Primary Outcome
BOLD fMRI (neural) response to high-calorie food cues during the food-specific stop-signal task in reward regions of interest. Reward-regions included BOLD response of the combination of prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, insula, ventral tegmental area, and ventral striatum
