Clinical trials: Cue-reactivity
Obesity, Childhood, Eating Behavior
Study of Brain, Reward, and Kids' Eating
Children from rural communities are at greater risk for obesity than children from more urban communities. However, some children are resilient to obesity despite greater exposure to obesogenic influences in rural communities…

Resilience to the Effects of Advertising in Children
Strong empirical evidence shows food marketing promotes excess energy intake and obesity. Yet, not all children are susceptible to its effects and this variability is poorly understood.

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Alcoholism
Cue Effects in Human Addiction: Pavlovian to Instrumental Transfer
Individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) have to cope with drug-related cues and contexts, which can affect instrumental drug seeking as shown with Pavlovian to instrumental transfer (PIT) paradigms in animals and humans.

Development of an Eating Behavior Risk Score
This study will explore how children's eating behaviors are connected to brain activity and body fat levels. Researchers are especially interested in a behavior pattern called the PACE phenotype, which includes how much children…
