    Author: Okamoto Y, Miyake Y, Shirao N, Okamoto Y, Yamawaki S.
    Journal: Seishin Shinkeigaku Zasshi; 2010; 112(8):741-9. PubMed ID: 20976966.
    Abstract:
    We examined brain activation in the presence of eating disorders while processing unpleasant words concerning body images using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Anorexia nervosa restricting type (AN-R) and anorexia nervosa binge-eating/ purging type (AN-BP) patients showed significant amygdala activation. Farther, AN-BP and bulimia nervosa (BN) patients showed significant medial prefrontal cortex activation. Next, we conducted short-term integrated group therapy for eating disorders. After treatment, depressive scores of POMS and emotional-oriented coping scores of CISS were significantly decreased, and EAT scores and self-esteem scores of RSES were significantly increased.
