Article Synopsis
- Altered reward processing is linked to binge-eating disorder (BED), but the specific neurocognitive processes involved are not well understood.
- In a study of 40 individuals with BED and 40 matched controls, EEG data showed that those with BED exhibited heightened brain activity for both anticipatory (CNV) and outcome-related (RewP) responses to food and money rewards.
- Within the BED group, more frequent binge eating correlated with stronger anticipatory responses but weaker outcome responses to food, suggesting that while "wanting" food rewards is amplified in BED, the "liking" aspect may be diminished as disorder severity increases.
