Altered anticipatory brain responses in eating disorders: A neuroimaging meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Functional neuroimaging studies have found differential neural activation patterns during anticipation-related paradigms in participants with eating disorders (EDs) compared to controls. However, publications reported conflicting results on the directionality and location of the abnormal activations. There is an urgent need to integrate our existing knowledge of anticipation, both rewarding and aversive, to elucidate these differences.

Method

We conducted an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis to quantitatively review functional neuroimaging studies that evaluated differences between brain correlates of anticipation in participants with and without disordered eating. PubMed, Web of Sciences, PsycINFO, Medline and EMBASE were searched for studies pu
