Central Autonomic Network Alterations in Anorexia Nervosa Following Peripheral Adrenergic Stimulation.

Weight-restored females with AN show a widespread state-dependent disruption of signaling between central autonomic, frontoparietal, and sensorimotor brain networks that facilitate interoceptive representation and visceromotor regulation. Additionally, trait associations between central autonomic network regions and these other brain networks suggest that dysfunctional processing of interoceptive signaling may contribute to affective and body image disturbance in AN.
