title: Effects of body image therapy on the activation of the extrastriate body area in anorexia nervosa: an fMRI study.
abstract: To test effects of body image therapy in anorexia nervosa, functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess neuronal responses to viewing photographs of one's own body before and after treatment. Activation decreases emerged in a distributed network and increases were observed in the extrastriate body area, possibly reflecting more intense body image processing.
