Does recovery from anorexia nervosa include neural compensation for negative body image?
These results suggest that recovery from AN is not achieved by dampening an amygdala mediated emotional response to bodies, but instead by developing compensatory neural mechanisms that prevent emotional responses from disturbing cognition.
Our preliminary data suggest that children carrying the CT genotype are more prone to develop oral mucositis, which might mean that the heterozygous genotype leads to accumulation of more reactive oxygen species. Since a limited number of patients was investigated, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
