Functional magnetic resonance imaging reveals distinct neural correlates in body image perception for anorexia and bulimia nervosa.

Participants with anorexia and bulimia nervosa showed decreased brain activity while viewing their own bodies.
Those with anorexia displayed increased amygdala activation when viewing another woman's body compared to bulimia patients.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging highlighted differences in brain activity linked to body image disturbances across women with eating disorders.
