Figure 6 from the study, showing 3‑D renderings of cerebral perfusion averaged across normal BMI (23), overweight (29), and obese (37) 40-year-old men

Body weight has surprising, alarming impact on brain function (Science Daily):

As a person’s weight goes up, all regions of the brain go down in activity and blood flow, according to a new brain imaging study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease … scientists analyzed over 35,000 functional neuroimaging scans using single-photon emission com…
