Persistent gray matter deficits after weight recovery in anorexia warrant clinical caution; leaves open irreversibility and need for longitudinal studies.
Are there persistent structural brain changes in subjects who are weight-recovered from anorexia nervosa compared to healthy controls and low-weight patients?
