Abstract
We recently reported interrelated digestive, cognitive, and hedonic responses to a meal. The aim of this study was to identify brain networks related to the hedonic response to eating. Thirty-eight healthy subjects (20-38 age range) were evaluated after a 5-hour fast and after ingestion of a test meal (juice and warm ham and cheese sandwich, 300 mL, 425 kcal). Perceptual and affective responses (satiety, abdominal fullness, digestive well-being, and positive mood), and resting scans of the brain using functional MRI (3T Trio, Siemens, Germany) were evaluated immediately before and after the test meal. A high-order group independent component analysis was performed to investigate ingestion-related changes in the intrinsic connectivity of brain networks, with a focus on thalamic and insular networks. Ingestion induced satiation (3.3±0.4 score increase; P
