Self-regulatory Control and Eating: A Neuroimaging Study of Bulimia Nervosa

NCT01935401 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 47

Last updated 2014-10-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study will be to replicate previous findings of deficits in prefrontal activation during response inhibition tasks in bulimia nervosa and extend these findings by demonstrating similar deficiencies in activity during a functional behavioral task that requires the inhibition of eating. Findings from this study will potentially help to elucidate the underlying neural mechanisms of bulimia nervosa, and thus inform treatment and prevention efforts.
