Research Abstract |
Anorexia nervosa (AN), which commonly occurs during adolescence in girls, is a disturbance of eating habits that is characterized by excessive preoccupation with body weight, shape, and food intake. The advanced neuroimaging studies showed that children with AN have remarkable concern with “attachment” which infants have experienced during their early childhood. It showed also significant decreased inhibitory neurogenic function in the cingulate cortex which control emotion, according to higher anxious and depressive symptoms. The abnormal neurogenic function returned to normal after bodyweight gained. Furthermore, eye-tracking examination revealed the evidence of preoccupation to food selectivity and shyness, which were difficult to be evaluated by patients. This study might contribute to patients and their parents for understanding well regarding AN
