Abstract:IntroductionAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a debilitating and potentially chronic eating disorder, characterized by low hedonic drive toward food, which has been linked with perturbations in both reward processing and dopaminergic activity. Neuromelanin‐sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an emerging method to index midbrain neuromelanin—a by‐product of dopaminergic synthesis. The assessment of midbrain neuromelanin, and its association with AN psychopathology and reward‐related processes, may provide crit… Show more
