Eating Disorders in Men-an Underestimated Problem, an Unseen Need
CONCLUSION: It is important to combat the stigmatization of men with eating disorders and to remove the obstacles to their appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The current methods of screening and diagnosis need to be adapted to take account of the special aspects of abnormal eating behavior in men. It remains unclear whether and how the disorder-specific treatment of these conditions in men should differ from their treatment in women.PMID:38019152 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2023.0246 (Source: Deutsches Arzteblatt International)

Exploring the thalamus: a crucial hub for brain function and communication in patients with bulimia nervosa
ConclusionsOur study provides evidence that there is disrupted FC between thalamic subregions and other brain regions in BN patients during resting state. These regions are primarily located within the frontoparietal network, default mode network, somatosensory, and visual network. These findings elucidate the neural activity characteristics underlying BN and suggest that thalamic subregions have potential as targets for future neuromodulation interventions.
