Updated Understanding of Reward Processing in Obesity in the Era of Incretin Agonists

Explore this recorded session from the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 Scientific Sessions on obesity and eating behavior. This on-demand video examines pleasure-driven eating and food noise, alongside emerging research on how GLP-1 and calcitonin-related signals connect hindbrain circuits with reward, appetite, and feeding behavior.

Overview

Learning Objectives

Compare the affect-first and pleasure-first models of non-homeostatic eating.
Summarize evidence that food anticipation and frustrated non-reward may contribute to hedonic eating.
Describe how hindbrain GLP-1 receptor pathways can influence reward-related signaling and feeding.
Explain the proposed role of calcitonin receptors in hindbrain circuits that suppress food intake.
