Neural correlates of perceptual-motor (dys-)functioning in children with obesity

This project will further document the nature of perceptual-motor (dys-)function in obese children by means of specific motor tasks. Advanced neuroimaging will be used to investigate characteristics of brain structural

and functional networks. Using a cross-sectional and longitudinal (pre-post) design, the extent to which (a decreased) BMI, motor behavioral measures and structural / functional characteristics of the brain are correlated.
