Background Obesity is associated with decreased brain gray-(GM) and white-matter (WM)
volumes in regions. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric surgery
associated with neuroplastic changes in patients with obesity at 1 month postLSG. Objective
To investigate whether LSG can induce sustained neuroplastic recovery of brain structural
abnormalities, and whether structural changes are accompanied by functional alterations.
Setting University hospital, longitudinal study. Methods Structural magnetic resonance …
