Scientists learned that compels the inhabitants of our planet to empty the fridge at night. As it turned out, blame it on the brain.

To the best knowledge of American scientists, at night the worse brain controls hunger and gets less pleasure from eating food or even just on its type, than in the morning or afternoon. This forces the inhabitants of our planet to RAID the fridge at night and absorb more than necessary.

"We often overeat at night only because the food is less appetizing for us or at least looks less appetizing at this time of day. It seems that we get less enjoyment from the night meals, in consequence of which we have to eat more to feel satisfied," announced Travis Masterson from the Institute of Brigham young in Provo (United States).

Neuroscientists have observed the work of the brain of several hundred volunteers, who every morning or evening is considered a bit of hundreds of pictures of different dishes - both high-calorie and low-calorie. In it scientists wanted to understand how changing the feeling of hunger and feeling of fullness, and even the visual perception of food at different times of day, reports RIA Novosti.

In the end during the day, the brain response to food was many times stronger than in the evening and at night. A similar effect was largely impressed with the academics, because they expected that the food will look more "appetizing" specifically at night. The root cause is similar according to a researcher only needs to be verified.
