Satiety does not affect neuroaffective electrophysiological responses to food-related or emotional visual cues.

ABSTRACT: Continuing to eat even when full leads to excessive calorie consumption and obesity. Thus, understanding brain responses to food cues when satiated has important implications for weight control interventions. We used the late positive potential (LPP, a component of the event-related potentials (ERP) indexing motivational relevance) to determine the extent to which satiety affects brain responses to images of highly palatable foods (high-fat, high-sugar), high and low motivationally relevant (pleasant, unpleasant) and neutral stimuli in a sample of obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m2) and lean (BMI < 25 kg/m2) individuals. Satiated individuals (N = 55, 21 with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) were fed a nutritional drink prior to the experimental session and were individually matched with 55 unsa
