Researchers want to understand how eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa affect how the brain works at rest. This study will use a special type of brain scan called functional MRI to take pictures of your brain and compare them over time. The researchers hope to see whether improvements in your eating disorder symptoms match with changes in brain activity.
Doctors know that eating disorders change how the brain works, but they don't fully understand the connection between brain changes and getting better. This study aims to find out whether tracking brain activity over time can help predict recovery and guide better treatment.

You will visit the research center where you'll answer questions about your mood, thoughts, and eating behaviors through questionnaires. You'll then have a brain scan using functional MRI, which takes pictures of your brain while you rest quietly — this is painless and non-invasive. You'll be asked to return for a follow-up visit one year later to repeat the questionnaires and brain scan so the researchers can track how things have changed.
