Atypical anorexia nervosa is not related to brain structural changes in newly diagnosed adolescent patients

DiscussionThe ED‐related cognitions in atypical AN patients would suggest that atypical AN and AN could be part of the same spectrum of restrictive‐ED.

Alternatively, the preservation of GM volume might indeed differentiate atypical AN from AN.
