Overview

Perspective draws parallels with anosognosia for hemiplegia, suggesting cognitive deficits in anorexia nervosa.

Key Points

  • Anosognosia in anorexia nervosa can severely impair self-awareness and exacerbate the disorder.
  • Evidence links anosognosia in this condition to dysfunctional prediction error and multisensory integration.
  • Proposed neurocognitive model highlights reliance on outdated body representations over new sensory information.
  • Understanding these mechanisms may guide future cognitive rehabilitation strategies for anorexia nervosa.
