There are major differences between the sexes in the brain’s response to hunger and satiation. Men and women seem to differ in their cognitive and emotional processing of hunger and satiation despite many similarities between their brain responses.
This provides good reason to look into the brain regions and cognitive processes which distinguish normal and abnormal eating behaviour in men and women, suggest investigators in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States.
They noted that while sex differences in eating behaviour were well documented, it was not known whether those differences had neuroanatomical correlates. Recent neuroimaging studies had provided functional maps of the human cerebral areas activated in response to hunger and satiation. This study looked into whether the brain’s response to meals was sex-specific.
