Summary
This study uses MRI scans to look at the brain and upper digestive tract in people with gastroparesis and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand how the brain and gut interact in this condition. Researchers will compare stomach movements before and after meals. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better non-invasive imaging methods to understand and diagnose gastroparesis.
- What could go wrong
