Impact of Bariatric Surgery and Liraglutide on Cognitive-Behavioral Markers of Long-Term Weight Loss in Obesity

Sponsor: I.R.C.C.S Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio

Summary

The present research project aims to study the effects of bariatric surgery and liraglutide administration (in patients already selected for one of these procedures) on two cognitive-behavioral processes partially supported by distinct brain networks: automatic approach tendencies (underpinned by the cue-reactivity network) and behavioral inhibition (underpinned by the cue-regulation network). Additionally, the investigators aim to study how these processes may be modulated by satiety. The secondary objective of the project includes identifying cognitive-behavioral markers that can predict the response to these treatments.

Official title: Effects of Bariatric Surgery and Pharmacological Therapy with Liraglutide on Motivational and Inhibitory Processes: Cognitive-Behavioral Markers of Long-Term Weight Loss. a Study on Patients with Obesity.
