Abstract:ObjectiveThe regulation of negative emotions entails the modulation of subcortical regions, such as the amygdala, by prefrontal regions. There is preliminary evidence suggesting that individuals at higher weight may present with hypoactivity in prefrontal regulatory systems during emotional regulation, although the directionality of these pathways has not been tested. In this study, we compared fronto‐amygdalar effective connectivity during cognitive reappraisal as a function of BMI in 48 adult women with obes… Show more
