Résumé
Adolescence is a critical developmental period for the study of anorexia nervosa (AN), an illness characterized by extreme restriction of food intake. The maturation of the reward system during adolescence combined with recent neurobiological models of AN led to the hypothesis that early on in illness, restrictive food choices would be associated with activity in nucleus accumbens reward regions, rather than caudate regions identified among adults with AN. Healthy adolescents (HC, n = 41) and adolescents with AN or atypical AN (atypAN, n = 76) completed a Food Choice Task during fMRI scanning. Selection of high-fat foods and choice-related activation in nucleus accumbens and anterior caudate regions-of-interest (ROIs) were compared between individuals with AN/atypAN and HC. Associations were examined between choice-related activation and choice preferences among the AN group. Exploratory analyses examined associations between choice-related activation and psychological assessments among the patient group. Adolescents with AN or atypAN selected fewer high-fat foods than HC (t = -5.92, p < .001). Counter to predictions, there were no significant group differences in choice-related activation in the ROIs. Among individuals with AN or atypAN, choice-related neural activity in the anterior caudate was significantly negatively associated with high-fat food selections in the task (r = -.32, p = .024). In exploratory analyses, choice-related anterior caudate activation was positively associated with psychological measures of illness severity among patients (p's < .05, uncorrected). In this large cohort of adolescents with AN/atypAN, there was no evidence of altered reward system engagement during food choice. While there was no group difference in choice-related caudate activation, the associations with choices and psychological measures continue to suggest that this neural region is implicated in illness. Longitudinal analyses will clarify whether neural variability relates to longer-term course.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Adolescence is a critical developmental period for the study of anorexia nervosa (AN), an illness characterized by extreme restriction of food intake. The maturation of the reward system during adolescence combined with recent neurobiological models of AN led to the hypothesis that early on in illness, restrictive food choices would be associated with activity in nucleus accumbens reward regions, rather than caudate regions identified among adults with AN.
METHODS
METHODS
Healthy adolescents (HC, n = 41) and adolescents with AN or atypical AN (atypAN, n = 76) completed a Food Choice Task during fMRI scanning. Selection of high-fat foods and choice-related activation in nucleus accumbens and anterior caudate regions-of-interest (ROIs) were compared between individuals with AN/atypAN and HC. Associations were examined between choice-related activation and choice preferences among the AN group. Exploratory analyses examined associations between choice-related activation and psychological assessments among the patient group.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Adolescents with AN or atypAN selected fewer high-fat foods than HC (t = -5.92, p < .001). Counter to predictions, there were no significant group differences in choice-related activation in the ROIs. Among individuals with AN or atypAN, choice-related neural activity in the anterior caudate was significantly negatively associated with high-fat food selections in the task (r = -.32, p = .024). In exploratory analyses, choice-related anterior caudate activation was positively associated with psychological measures of illness severity among patients (p's < .05, uncorrected).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
In this large cohort of adolescents with AN/atypAN, there was no evidence of altered reward system engagement during food choice. While there was no group difference in choice-related caudate activation, the associations with choices and psychological measures continue to suggest that this neural region is implicated in illness. Longitudinal analyses will clarify whether neural variability relates to longer-term course.
