| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Currently, treatment of obesity is difficult. In this study, we aimed to research the neurological basis of appetite dysregulation of obese patients and the effectiveness of mindfulness. In obese patients, it was difficult to adjust appetite and regulate emotion because there was difficulty in appetite control in the brain by immediate strategy, and there was change in insular cortex and anterior cingulate cortex related to internal sensation and emotion processing. Since insular cortex and anterior cingulate cortex are regions where increases with training of mindfulness, it was suggested that mindfulness is beneficial for treatment of obesity. In future, we will aim to exam the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based intervention created in this research.
