Congratulations Kristen on being awarded a Merit Scholarship for Medical School at West Virginia School of Medicine. We are very excited for your journey to becoming a doctor!
Dr. Page and colleagues have been awarded a $2,700,000 grant to support a 5-year study titled, Neural Mechanisms for Appetitive Responses to High Reward Foods. The proposed studies implement a combination of neuroimaging, physiological and behavioral techniques that are being used in novel ways in humans to gain a more complete understanding of how sugars affect neuroendocrine pathways and eating behavior, and how alterations in these pathways may contribute to the development of
