AB  - The ability to control desires, whether for food, sex, or drugs, enables people 
      to function successfully within society. Yet, in tempting situations, strong 
      impulses often result in self-control failure. Although many triggers of 
      self-control failure have been identified, the question remains as to why some 
      individuals are more likely than others to give in to temptation. In this study, 
      we combined functional neuroimaging and experience sampling to determine if there 
      are brain markers that predict whether people act on their food desires in daily 
      life. We examined food-cue-related activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), as 
      well as activity associated with response inhibition in the inferior frontal 
      gyrus (IFG). Greater NAcc activity was associated with greater likelihood of 
      self-control failures, whereas IFG activity supported successful resistance to 
      temptations. These findings demonstrate an important role for the neural 
      mechanisms underlying desire and self-control in people's real-world experiences 
      of temptations.
