Groundbreaking study shows substantial differences in brain structure in people with anorexia

June 14, 2022
Brain Shrinkage in Anorexia: Compiled from worldwide brain scans in the largest study to date, these brain maps show (in warmer colors) brain regions with gray matter deficits—abnormal tissue reductions—in anorexia. Deficits are less strong in partially-weight restored individuals (upper images) than those in the acute phase (lower images) suggesting the importance and benefits of early interventions.
