Article Synopsis
- Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious mental disorder mainly affecting young females, and a systematic review analyzes neuroimaging studies to identify brain changes associated with the condition in adolescents and young adults.
- The review included 33 studies that revealed notable reductions in grey matter volume and alterations in white matter microstructure, particularly in regions like the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum, with many changes showing reversal after weight restoration.
- While the findings provide insights into the neurological impact of AN, there is a need for further research to understand their clinical significance, especially considering the ongoing brain development in young individuals.
