Official title

Assessment of Dopaminergic Neurotransmission in Response to Tasting Chocolate (The Chocolate Study 2.0)

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to test how the brain responds when enjoyable foods such as chocolate are consumed. The investigators know that eating certain types of foods can make an individual want to keep eating even when he or she is full. The chemical in the brain that causes this is called dopamine. The investigators can measure this response by looking at changes to how an individual's eye responds to light.
