(a) Significant locit identified for differences between control and intervention participants in changes in functional magnetic resonance imaging blood oxygen-level-dependent activation from baseline to 6 months in response to viewing 20 pictures of high-calorie (HC) and 20 pictures of low-calorie (LC) foods, as well as a non-food (NF) control images matched to each food picture for approximate color, size and visual complexity. Data presented are with data for non-food images subtracted out. (b) The right ventral putamen at max voxel coordinate x=26, y=−6 and z=−4, P=0.005 with 73 contiguous voxels above threshold. (c) The left dorsal putamen at max voxel coordinate x=−22, y=−6 and z=14, P=0.026, eight contiguous voxels above threshold (c). Note, there was also a one-voxel above threshold activation in the right dorsal putamen x=30, y=−16 and z=12, Z-score=1.75, P=0.04.
