Margo’s paper entitled “Investigating Habenula Functional Connectivity and Reward-Related Activity in Obesity Using Human Connectome Project Data” in Brain Connectivity. Using a large dataset from the Human Connectome project, we investigated the relation between obesity and functional connectivity with the habenula. We did not find evidence for an association between BMI and habenula functional connectivity or reward-related activity. However, there may be a role for glucose regulation in modulating the habenula-VTA connection.
