Brain scans reveal how hunger alters control in eating disorder
NCT ID NCT04409457
Summary
This study aimed to understand how eating a meal or fasting affects self-control in women with bulimia nervosa. Researchers used MRI brain scans and computer tasks to compare brain activity and behavior in 100 women, some with bulimia and some without, after they ate and after they fasted. The goal was to learn if differences in how the brain prepares for and exerts control could help explain binge eating and purging symptoms.
