Translating Neuroscience to Population Health

Study Description
Brief Summary:
The current study will examine the relationship between brain responses and a guided imagery exercise in overweight and obese individuals. Results of this work are highly relevant to public health because they employ neuroimaging methods to understand food decision-making. Findings from this study will inform health decision making and holds great potential for future translation across multiple health behaviors and scalable interventions to impact population health

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Overweight and Obesity Behavioral: Guided Imagery Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Negative health behaviors (e.g. overeating, smoking) are associated with increased negative health outcomes. Engaging in healthy behaviors is not always rewarding (e.g. carrot vs. cake). Neural models of healthy behaviors focus on the balance between reward and regulation brain regions. The current pilot application examines the engagement of these regions during the evaluation of food and nonfood cues before and after a guided imagery exercise targeting positive associations with food and regulation.

The long-term goal is to understand the interaction between positive associations with healthy foods and thinking about future rewards may influence healthy decision-making. The objective of the current study is to empirically test the combined effects of positive affect and positive episodic future thinking on brain activation.

Study Design
Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 20 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description: Participants will be assigned to a guided imagery exercise
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Official Title: Changing How the Brain Responds When Making Decisions: Translating Neuroscience to Population Health
Actual Study Start Date : April 24, 2019
Actual Primary Completion Date : July 11, 2019
Actual Study Completion Date : July 11, 2019
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Guided Imagery
Participants will listen to a guided imagery recording
Behavioral: Guided Imagery
The guided imagery exercise asks participants to think about positive associations with healthy foods and imagine their future healthy selves.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Brain Activation in Self-Regulation Brain Regions [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging will measure brain activation changes in self-regulation brain regions including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, dorsomedial prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex when participants view healthy compared to unhealthy food images before and after the guided imagery exercise

  2. Brain Activation in Reward Brain Regions [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging will measure brain activation changes in reward brain regions including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and striatum when participants view healthy compared to unhealthy food images before and after the guided imagery exercise


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Food Choice [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Observational preference for healthy compared to unhealthy food choices measured by the number of healthy and unhealthy foods selected following the guided imagery exercise

  2. Food Demand [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Behavioral changes in demand for healthy compared to unhealthy foods will be measured by asking participants to indicate how healthy and unhealthy food items they would eat in a day if the items were freely available
