New research led by Cassandra Lowe at Western’s BrainsCAN found that the relationship between our weight and self-control is far more complex than many believe. Working with Australian researchers the team found that differences in the area of the brain related to decision-making and self-control can lead to weight gain and, at the same time, weight gain diminishes activity in that same part of the brain, making it harder to override food cravings and resist the junk food that is all around us. Coverage appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Globe and Mail, Canberra Times, and CTV News.
