Abstract in brief

Pleasant taste and nutritional value influence how people choose food, but the brain's encoding of food reward value is still unclear.
The study used fMRI and PET scans to examine how palatable food affects dopamine release and brain activity in humans, showing distinct patterns for immediate and delayed responses.
Findings revealed that different brain regions are activated during these responses, with immediate dopamine release associated with the desire to eat, while post-ingestive release appears to inhibit immediate responses.
