Dr. Ann Haynos joins the podcast to share all about how her research uses neuroscience to inform clinical interventions. First, Dr. Haynos explains the role of studying "resting state functional connectivity" in eating disorders, and the parts of the brain involved in reward processing; it's especially fascinating to hear how it compares between eating disorder patients and healthy individuals. Then, Dr. Haynos shares how Positive Affect Treatment (PAT), a form of therapy used to treat mood/anxiety disorders, has been recently adapted to help anorexia nervosa treatment.
Papers Referenced in the Episode:
1. Haynos et al., 2019: Resting state functional connectivity of networks associated with reward and habit in anorexia nervosa. Human Brain Mapping, 40, 652-662.
2. Haynos et al., 2021: Adapting a neuroscience-informed intervention to alter reward mechanisms of anorexia nervosa: A novel direction for future research. Journal of Eating Disorders, 9.
