The brain’s biological clock and dopamine production linked resulting in diet-induced obesity

New research, appearing online in the journal Current Biology, asserts that the brain’s biological clock and dopamine production are correlated, resulting in the overconsumption of high-calorie foods, and subsequent diet-induced obesity (DIO).

“The widespread availability of energy-dense, rewarding foods is correlated with the increased incidence of obesity across the globe. Overeating during mealtimes and unscheduled snacking disrupts timed metabolic processes, which further contribute to weight gain,” the findings state.
