Neural correlates of inhibitory control in severe class III compared with class I/II obesity using a sample of endometrial cancer survivors seeking weight loss

This study aimed to evaluate inhibitory control and neural correlates of response inhibition in people with severe class III obesity compared to those with class I/II obesity using a sample of endometrial cancer survivors. The study found that participants with class III obesity had poorer inhibitory control, as indicated by longer stop signal reaction times, and showed increased activation in certain brain regions during incorrect inhibition compared to those with class I/II obesity. The study suggests that inhibitory control processes should be targeted in weight-loss interventions, particularly for people with severe obesity and greater impulsivity.
