Abstract:Background/ObjectivesIt is well-established that parental obesity is a strong risk factor for associates with offspring obesity. Further, a converging body of evidence now suggests that maternal weight profiles may affect the developing offspring brain in a manner that confers future obesity risk. Here, we investigated how pre-pregnancy maternal weight status influences the reward-related striatal areas of the offspring brain duringin uterodevelopment.MethodsWe used diffusion tensor imaging to quantify the mic… Show more
