Food-related information is distributed across functionally distinct brain networks which act as opponent processes involved in guiding food-related behavior.
Understanding the distinct brain networks involved in food-related behavior can inform strategies for dietary interventions.

- The inferred healthfulness or artificiality of foods is the greatest factor underlying similarity judgments, most strongly represented within the Prefrontal network.Strong
- The response to food images in the Prefrontal network is modulated strongly by judgments of the self-control required to resist eating those foods.Strong
