This webinar will review relevance, study design, findings, implications and limitations based on original research of the presenter, published in JAMA Psychiatry. 2021;78(10):1123-1133. doi:10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2021.1580. In the cross-sectional functional brain imaging study of 197 women with anorexia nervosa, other specified feeding and eating disorders, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder and a matched cohort of 120 healthy controls, brain salience response was significantly inversely correlated with body mass index and binge eating severity and positively correlated with ventral striatal-hypothalamic circuitry.
