Neural Correlates of Emotion Regulation and Executive Function in Binge Eating and Purging Among Adolescents

The study will examine the neural and behavioral correlates of emotion regulation in
adolescents engaging in binge eating and/or purging and healthy adolescents. Furthermore, it
will look at the influence of executive function on emotion regulation in this population.
This study will allow us to gain further understanding of the neural basis of emotion
regulation in this age group. Moreover, this study supports the need to develop new treatment
approaches based on a better understanding of the brain processes associated with eating
disorders.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Female

- Ages 14-18

- with or without current binge eating and/or purging behaviors

Exclusion Criteria:

We exclude patients of clinically significant low weight (<85% ideal body weight using CDC
norms for height, age, and gender) and those with contraindications for MRI (e.g.,
orthodontia, metallic implants). Participants also will be without evidence of current or
past major neurological (e.g., seizures, psychosis, head trauma) or major sensory deficit.
