Our third and final day of reThink food begins soon (9am PST), with a general session on Is My Brain the Boss of Me? The Path of Food Choices Join us via webcast and Twitter: #CIAMLFood new.livestream/accounts/1611038/events/3475411 A wide variety of factors—beyond practical ones such as budget, location, and season—determine what we choose to eat at any given time: It could be hunger pangs or indulgent cravings, diet and weight loss considerations or religious restrictions, or cultural expectations of what might constitute an acceptable meal. But which part(s) of our body really control what we end up putting in our mouths? This session looks at what we know about brain systems and the effect of nutrition on the brain, along with cultural demands and preferences around our food choices. Presenters will also discuss which research areas will likely see breakthroughs in the next five years, to determine just what role our brain plays in our food choices. Moderator: Alice Park (Time) Presenters: Lisa Mosconi (New York University School of Medicine) Daphne Miller (University of California–San Francisco) Ki Goosens (MIT, McGovern Institute for Brain Research)
