No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Body Image distortion is a key diagnostic feature for Anorexia Nervosa. Patients suffering from Anorexia Nervosa tend to perceive themselves as fatter than they are. This bias might be at the origin of a reinforcement of anorectic behavior which might alter medical care. The objective of this study is to identify neural correlates of self-recognition in Anorexia Nervosa. Patients are hypothesized to activate the self-recognition network when seeing images of a fatter body shape than their own.
