BrainEx Study
We are trying to learn if anorexia is linked to changes in the brain that impact decision-making. By studying young people with and without anorexia, we can learn more about decision-making and brain activity. This could lead to better treatments for people with anorexia.
We are recruiting teens (ages 14-18) with anorexia nervosa OR with no history of an eating disorder or current psychiatric disorder to participate in a neuroimaging study.
Participants will be randomly selected to attend either one or two in-person study visits at UCSF Mission Bay.
During your first visit, you will:
- Have a short interview with the study team.
- Complete two computer tasks and other questionnaires.
Participants who are randomized to a second study visit will undergo an fMRI scan.
You can receive a $150 gift card for taking part in the study.
