Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Investigation Into Compulsivity in Anorexia

NCT03450239 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2018-04-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators will examine compulsivity in those who have recovered from anorexia nervosa, using a multi-modal MRI study. The neural activation of key fronto-striatal areas will be explored using a task which examines set-shifting and reversal-learning, two key components of compulsivity. Additionally, the functional networks displayed during resting-state MRI will be examined between groups, as will the neurochemicals present (using Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy).
