"Toward a Transdiagnostic Neurobiology of Eating Disorders"
Objectives:
The activity is designed to help the learner:
-
Describe how brain imaging can be used to study the motivational salience brain circuitry in eating disorders
-
Discuss connections between food intake and adaptation of dopamine-related brain circuits
-
Discuss how anxiety may be a trait that moderates brain response across eating disorders
About the Speaker:

Summary
This presentation will describe and discuss recent brain imaging studies from our lab to develop models of brain pathophysiology across eating disorders. The motivational salience circuitry adapts to the extremes of eating behaviors and reinforces pathologic behavior. Body mass index, anxiety and taste sensitivity play important roles in moderating brain reward circuits.
