Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate, through behavioural tests combined with advanced neurofunctional methods, the neural bases of intentional behaviours towards edible stimuli using explicit and implicit paradigms in normal-weight subjects.

This knowledge will then be expanded with the study of associations between behavioral/neurofunctional measures and blood/hummon parameters.
