A conditioned response to food is frequently accompanied by increased salivation, physiological arousal, and neural activity in brain regions such as the ventral striatum (VS). This response is conditioned through environmental (smell, sight of foods), interoceptive (stress, negative affect, hormones), and physiological cues that accompany the thought of or ingestion of food (Boswell & Kober, 2016).
