Brain study seeks clues to Anorexia's reward system
NCT ID NCT05531604
Summary
This study aims to understand how people with anorexia nervosa learn to associate positive feelings with certain cues, compared to healthy individuals. Researchers will use brain scans, heart rate monitoring, and eye tracking while participants listen to infant laughter as a positive stimulus. The findings could help explain why people with anorexia often don't find food or social experiences rewarding, potentially guiding future treatment approaches.
