Nutritional rehabilitation may support brain recovery in anorexia nervosa; leaves open confirmation via prospective trials before practice change.
Objectives.Magnetic resonance imaging studies revealed changes in the brains of patients suffering from anorexia nervosa (AN), such as brain volume reduction, deepening of the brain's sulcus and fissures, widening of the lateral ventricles, and cerebrospinal fluid amount increase.This study aims to review research relating to changes in the brain structure under the influence of malnutrition in AN and the neuronal reconstruction of the brain during clinical recovery.Literature review.The article was prepared based on the results of neuroimaging studies in people with AN, published in Polish and English-language journals between 1990 and 2022.The research on the influence of nutritional therapy on the regression of previously occurring structural changes in the brain in AN published in Polish and English-language journals between 1990 and 2022 was also reviewed.Conclusions.In AN, structural changes of the CNS are formed, and the total volume of the brain (TBV) and its Review article / Artykuł poglądowy Brain morphological changes in patients with diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. Nutritional rehabilitation and neuroregenerationZmiany morfologiczne w mózgu u chorych z diagnozą jadłowstrętu psychicznego.

Gołębiowska et al. (2022) conducted a review in Anorexia nervosa. Nutritional rehabilitation was evaluated on Brain morphological changes and neuroregeneration. Anorexia nervosa leads to structural brain changes such as reduced total brain volume, which can be reversed through appropriate nutritional rehabilitation.
