Neuroimaging studies in eating disorders.
The understanding of the eating disorders (EDs) anorexia (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) has undergone remarkable advancements in the past decade. Most studies that have been done in AN show brain gray and white matter volume loss during the ill state that, at least in part, remit with recovery. Similar patterns occur for brain phospholipids assessed using magnet resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Ima...
متن کاملBipolar Disorders: Review of Molecular Genetic Linkage Studies
This chapter reviews evidence of the heritability of bipolar (BP) and recurrent unipolar (RUP) disorders. This evidence has accumulated through family, twin, adoption, linkage, and candidate gene studies. Both the twin and family studies suggest that unipolar and bipolar disorders share some fraction of genetic susceptibility. Data from the twin and family studies can be used for genetic counse...
متن کاملThe epidemiology of eating disorders: genetic, environmental, and societal factors
BACKGROUND The aim of this review was to summarize the literature to date regarding the sociodemographic, environmental, and genetic correlates of eating disorders (EDs) in adults. METHOD A keyword search was entered into Scopus (SciVerse, Elsevier) to identify relevant articles published in English up until June 2013. Articles were assessed against a range of a priori inclusion and exclusion...
متن کاملFunctional magnetic resonance studies in eating behavior disorders.
Eating behavior disorders (EBD) constitute a serious somatic and psychiatric condition that occurs mainly in adolescent and young adult women and is characterized by a persistent desire to be extremely thin, pathologic fear of gaining weight and distortion of body perception. From a neurobiological vantage point, it has been suggested that alterations in some neural systems of these patients ma...
متن کاملEating disorders: from twin studies to candidate genes and beyond.
Substantial effort has been put into the exploration of the biological background of eating disorders, through family, twin and molecular genetic studies. Family studies have shown that anorexia (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are strongly familial, and that familial etiologic factors appear to be shared by both disorders. Twin studies often focus on broader phenotypes or subthreshold eating diso...
