NCT02783872

Brief Summary

This study will investigate neural activation patterns in emotion- and cognition-related brain regions during an emotion regulation task involving cognitive reappraisal, and their associations with age and pubertal status, among overweight children and adolescents with loss of control eating as compared to overweight and normal-weight controls.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patterns of activation in cognitive control and emotion-related regions of the brain

    Activity in cognitive control regions of the brain (i.e., dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, and dorsolateral, dorsomedial, and ventrolateral prefrontal cortices) and emotion-related regions of the brain (i.e., amygdala, insula, and ventral striatum) during emotion regulation relative to emotion maintenance

    Baseline

Study Arms (3)

Loss of control

30 overweight or obese (BMI≥85th %ile) youth endorsing loss of control eating within the past 3 months

Overweight control

30 overweight or obese controls without any history of loss of control eating

Normal-weight control

15 normal-weight controls without any history of loss of control eating

Study Population

75 right-handed age- and gender-matched youth, aged 10-17 years

You may qualify if:

  • Right-handed, aged 10-17 years.

You may not qualify if:

  • Participants will be excluded if they
  • are currently taking any medications known to affect mood or weight (e.g., antidepressants, steroids);
  • have a current diagnosis of a mood disorder or an eating disorder involving purging or suppressed body weight (e.g., bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa);
  • are unable to read and understand English fluently;
  • are currently pregnant;
  • are a current smoker; or
  • have metallic foreign bodies, face or neck tattoos, or other conditions that would prohibit fMRI scanning. Participants will complete a mock scan (see below) to ensure that their head and trunk size can be comfortably accommodated in the scanner.
