Cortical thickness of the cognitive control network in obesity and successful weight loss maintenance: A preliminary MRI study

Cortical thickness of the cognitive control network was contrasted between obese (OB), successful weight loss maintainers (SWLM), and lean individuals. OB had significant thinning, most notably in the anterior cingulate and posterior parietal cortices. SWLM exhibited trends towards thicker cortex than OB, which may be important in future studies.
