Far from 'fussy eaters' - first neuroimaging study demonstrates significant changes in the brains of children with ARFID
04/12/24
This December, EDAC members Dr Michelle Sader and Dr Gordon Waiter have had the opportunity to share a press release of their latest work on avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
This research, titled "Far from Fussy Eaters", investigates the brain structure of 10-year-old children with ARFID symptoms, identifying differences in the frontal and superior frontal regions of the brain, which play roles in executive function. These brain regions are important for the way we manage our thoughts, emotions and actions.
Take a look at the University of Aberdeen's press release on this paper here! The paper can also be found on EDAC's website here.
