Synopsis

Body image disorder is the core symptom of Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Our research focuses on a group of adolescent patients diagnosed with AN to investigate neurobiological aspects of body image distortion, comparing the results with healthy control (HC) and major depression (MD) groups. We planned a block-design task in fMRI by using participants' original and distorted overweight and underweight images. We applied General Linear Models (GLM) for whole-brain analyses and examined correlations of the findings with behavioral data. As a result, AN patients differentiated when evaluating their underweight images. However, all adolescents had similar activations for overweight conditions.
