Emerging evidence suggests that obesity impacts brain physiology at multiple levels. Here we aimed to clarify the relationship between obesity and brain structure using structural MRI ( n = 6420) and genetic data ( n = 3907) from the ENIGMA Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) working group. Obesity (BMI > 30)…
