Exploring the Restoration of Brain Connectivity during Weight Normalization in Severe Anorexia Nervosa

Abstract Anorexia nervosa is a persistent and often difficult to treat eating disorder with significant physical mental health consequences. While it known that the associated alterations in brain functional connectivity during phase of acute underweight, effect weight normalization on remains unclear. This talk focuses recovery intrinsic severe anorexia nervosa, presenting data from longitudinal study. Using resting-state magnetic resonance imaging, we assessed at three different stages inpatient treatment. Our findings indicate patients have weaker altered network topology, which do not improve These disruptions networks suggest may long-term effects way processes information, even after restored.
