Binge Eating is Associated With Right Orbitofrontal-Insular-Striatal Atrophy in Frontotemporal Dementia

Article Abstract
Binge eating can occur despite reported satiety and is associated with damage to a right-sided orbitofrontal-insular-striatal circuit in humans. These findings support a model in which ventral insular and orbitofrontal cortices serve as higher-order gustatory regions and cooperate with the striatum to guide appropriate feeding responses.
