MRI brain scans on young people with eating disorders uncovered startling revelations about adult behavior
Briefly

In the study, the researchers surveyed 996 participants on their eating habits and found that restrictive eaters and emotional/uncontrolled eaters behaved differently than healthy eaters.
The non-healthy eaters showed a tendency to internalize problems more as they aged, unlike healthy eaters, while also demonstrating externalization of problems.
MRI scans revealed that those with non-healthy eating behaviors exhibited different brain pathologies, with slower cerebellum maturation compared to healthy eaters.
Zuo Zhang mentioned that the findings indicate significant differences in brain development trajectories among individuals with diverse eating behaviors, correlating with their mental health.
