Summary

Researchers will use brain scans to compare 33 adolescents with and without the condition, then follow them for three years. The goal is to better understand the disease and find new ways to predict or influence its course.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could point toward new ways to predict how anorexia nervosa progresses and identify targets for future treatments.
What could go wrong
