Abstract
Clinical applications of electroencephalography (EEG) are used with different objectives, EEG being a noninvasive and painless procedure. In respect of eating disorders, in the 1950s a new line of study about the neurological bases of anorexia nervosa was started and has since been developed. The purpose of this review is to update the existing literature data on the main findings in respect of EEG in eating disorders by means of a search conducted in PubMed. Despite the fact that weight gain tends to normalize some brain dysfunctions assessed by means of EEG, the specific effect of gaining weight remains controversial. Different studies have reported that cortical dysfunctions can be found in patients with anorexia nervosa even after weight gain, whereas others have reported a normalization of EEG in respect of the initial reduced alpha/ increased beta power in those patients with refeeding. Findings of studies that have analyzed the possible relationship between eating disorders and depression, based on sleep EEG disturbances, do not support the idea of eating disorders as a variant of depression or affective disorders. Some EEG findings are very consistent with previous neuroimaging results on patients with anorexia nervosa, reporting neural disturbances in response to stimuli that are relevant to the pathology (eg, stimuli like food exposure, different emotional situations, or body images).

In respect of eating disorders, in the 1950s a new line of study about the neurological bases of anorexia nervosa was started and has since been developed. The purpose of this review is to update the existing literature data on the main findings in respect of EEG in eating disorders by means of a search conducted in PubMed. Despite the fact that weight gain tends to normalize some brain dysfunctions assessed by means of EEG, the specific effect of gaining weight remains controversial. Different studies have reported that cortical dysfunctions can be found in patients with anorexia nervosa even after weight gain, whereas others have reported a normalization of EEG in respect of the initial reduced alpha/ increased beta power in those patients with refeeding. Findings of studies that have analyzed the possible relationship between eating disorders and depression, based on sleep EEG disturbances, do not support the idea of eating disorders as a variant of depression or affective disorders. Some EEG findings are very consistent with previous neuroimaging results on patients with anorexia nervosa, reporting neural disturbances in response to stimuli that are relevant to the pathology (eg, stimuli like food exposure, different emotional situations, or body images).</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>electroencephalography</kwd><kwd>event-related potentials</kwd><kwd>sleep</kwd><kwd>depression</kwd><kwd>refeeding</kwd><kwd>weight gain</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp produced by the firing of neurons within the brain,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1-ndt-8-001">1</xref> reflecting the synchronized and desynchronized oscillations of the overall cortical activity in the brain.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2-ndt-8-001">2</xref> Brain patterns form wave shapes that are commonly sinusoidal, and the brain state of the individual may make certain frequencies more dominant.

Nevertheless, in 1973, the Royal College of Physicians (London, UK) held a clinico-pathological conference on a case of anorexia nervosa and, during the course of the conference, some attendants realized that in the case report there were no EEG data and they asked for them.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8-ndt-8-001">8</xref> It was mainly in the 1980s when a series of studies was developed applying EEG to eating disorders. The purpose of this review is to update the existing data on the main findings in respect of EEG in eating disorders.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods"><title>Methods</title><p>The current review was conducted by means of a search of PubMed. The following search terms were used: “EEG and eating disorders,” “neurophysiology and eating disorders,” “quantitative EEG and eating disorders,” “event-related potentials and eating disorders,” “polysomnography and eating disorders,” “electro-occulogram and eating disorders,” “haptic exploration tasks and eating disorders,” and “contingent negative variation and eating disorders.” As a result, a total of 309 articles were obtained, excluding all of those that were not specifically focused on anorexia and/or bulimia nervosa, sleep-related eating disorders, or binge eating (BE). In respect of case reports, due to the shortage of articles specifically focused on these disorders, one related to the first mention of EEG in the literature on eating disorders was considered, as well as two case reports based on sleep-related eating disorders.</p></sec><sec sec-type="results"><title>Results</title><sec><title>Sleep and eating disorders</title><p>Initial studies were based on the fact that insomnia, especially early morning waking, is a confirmed feature of anorexia nervosa. In continuous EEG recordings of patients with anorexia nervosa, an increase of the total time asleep per night (light sleep, medium sleep, deep sleep, very deep sleep, and rapid eye movement [REM] sleep) was found following treatment, leading to the conclusion that changes in sleep are more closely associated with disturbances and changes in nutritional status than with disturbances and changes in emotional state.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9-ndt-8-001">9</xref> By means of electro-occulogram recordings (measurements of the amplitude of the standing potential and light response), EEG, and electromyography, it was found that during refeeding, with overall weight gain, there was a significant increase in total length of sleep, as well as REM sleep, the latter increasing especially during the final stages of this process of gaining weight.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10-ndt-8-001">10</xref> In addition, it has been confirmed that low-weight patients usually sleep less and are more restless, especially in the last 4 hours of the night.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11-ndt-8-001">11</xref> After weight gain, a significant increase in length of sleep and REM sleep was observed. As a result, authors have stated that the relationship between insomnia and low body weight might also hold for a variety of psychiatric and other disorders in which there is impaired nutritional status and weight loss.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11-ndt-8-001">11</xref> Comparing patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa with normal-weight women, Walsh et al<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12-ndt-8-001">12</xref> found that patients with anorexia nervosa spent less time asleep and less of that time in stage 1 sleep. Moreover, the sleep of the normal-weight patients with bulimia nervosa was clearly similar to that of the controls.</p><p>Patients with bulimia nervosa are not easily distinguishable from healthy controls in terms of sleep patterns, whereas patients with anorexia nervosa show some disturbances in sleep efficiency and sleep architecture.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13-ndt-8-001">13</xref> By analyzing arousal and the cyclic alternating sleep pattern, it has been confirmed that altered sleep in eating disorder patients may be related to body mass index,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13-ndt-8-001">13</xref> although this association is controversial. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14-ndt-8-001">14</xref> In respect of sleep architecture, patients with anorexia nervosa seem to have an increase of wakefulness after having got to sleep (due to an increased number of nighttime awakenings), a higher number of arousals, and a reduction in slow-wave sleep and slow-wave activity (SWA) during total sleep time. No relationship between the reduction of SWA and duration of illness has been found, whereas a relationship between a decrease in SWA and body mass index has been reported. Considering the first non-REM sleep cycle, there were no differences between patients with anorexia nervosa and healthy controls.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15-ndt-8-001">15</xref></p><p>It has been reported that sleep EEG in adolescents with anorexia shows an increased number of awakenings and wakefulness over the rest of the sleeping period, a reduction of sleep efficiency and slow-wave sleep, and a significant reduction in the power spectral values of SWA in all nonrapid eye movement (NREM)-REM cycles of sleep and in undisturbed and stable stage-4 sleep.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16-ndt-8-001">16</xref> When compared with healthy controls, patients with anorexia nervosa were characterized by a concentration of SWA in the first NREM-REM cycle with decay in the second part of the night. Again, a positive correlation between body mass index and the amount of SWA has been found.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16-ndt-8-001">16</xref><xref ref-type="table" rid="t1-ndt-8-001">Table 1</xref> shows some studies on sleep EEG and eating disorders.</p><p>Besides sleep EEG recordings, recent research based on quantitative EEG has reported greater amplitude of alpha-1 sources (8–9 Hz) in central, parietal, occipital, and limbic areas of healthy controls when compared with patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17-ndt-8-001">17</xref> Alpha-2 sources (10–12 Hz) in parietal, occipital, and limbic areas have shown greater amplitude in controls than in patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Alpha-1 sources in the temporal area showed greater amplitude in controls when compared with patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa as well as in patients with bulimia nervosa compared with patients with anorexia nervosa. Central alpha-1 source correlated significantly with body mass index in patients.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17-ndt-8-001">17</xref></p></sec><sec><title>Sleep, eating disorders, and depression</title><p>Studies based on sleep have suggested neurobiological similarities between patients with eating disorders and those with depression.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14-ndt-8-001">14</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18-ndt-8-001">18</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b21-ndt-8-001">21</xref> In a study comparing eating disorder patients (without depression) and healthy controls, no significant REM differences were found between the two groups. In addition, low-weight patients with anorexia nervosa appeared to have less delta sleep than controls. In conclusion, authors reported that these findings did not support the idea of eating disorders as a variant of affective disorders.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18-ndt-8-001">18</xref> By means of EEG and a cholinergic REM sleep induction test, no differences were found in sleep patterns among patients with anorexia nervosa and those with bulimia nervosa and healthy controls. Moreover, the induction test results were similar in eating disorder patients and in controls but differed from those reported in depressive patients.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b19-ndt-8-001">19</xref> Based on these findings, a posterior study confirmed that, whereas baseline EEG sleep did not differ significantly among eating disorder patients, young depressive patients, and healthy controls, the REM sleep-inducing effect of a cholinergic agent was distinguished in depressive patients, eating disorder patients, and controls.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b20-ndt-8-001">20</xref> In respect of the cholinergic REM sleep induction, a significantly faster induction of REM sleep was found in depressive patients when compared with eating disorder patients and controls. Lauer et al have stated that these findings indicate a subthreshold hypersensitivity of the REM sleep–triggering cholinergic transmitter system in depressive patients but not in eating disorder patients.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b21-ndt-8-001">21</xref> Eating disorder patients differ from depressive patients in that they have a greater number of, and longer, awakenings. Compared with controls, eating disorder patients show less sleep efficiency, longer awakenings, and less REM sleep. Moreover, patients with a bulimic subtype of anorexia nervosa show an increase in stage 3 sleep. Again, the results do not support a direct association between eating disorders and affective disorders.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14-ndt-8-001">14</xref></p><p>Data based on sleep EEG as well as on studies on the similarity between eating disorders and depression seem to suggest the influence of weight on sleep EEG, and the findings do not support that similarity.</p></sec><sec sec-type="discussion"><title>Impact of refeeding and weight gain</title><p>The relationship between nutritional status and EEG findings has been reported in several studies,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9-ndt-8-001">9</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11-ndt-8-001">11</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13-ndt-8-001">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16-ndt-8-001">16</xref> despite others not finding that relationship.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14-ndt-8-001">14</xref> The debate highlights whether the reported EEG abnormalities are an effect of structural brain changes related to starvation or are predisposing disease markers of anorexia nervosa.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b22-ndt-8-001">22</xref> In general, findings have been inconsistent; thus, the association between EEG abnormalities, body mass index, and duration of illness remains uncertain.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17-ndt-8-001">17</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23-ndt-8-001">23</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24-ndt-8-001">24</xref></p><p>In a study with adolescents with anorexia nervosa and emotionally disturbed patients by means of ERP (auditory), it was found that patients with anorexia nervosa might have difficulty in modulating auditory stimuli adequately at the subcortical level, even after gaining weight. Nevertheless, at the cortical level, the modulation did not differ from controls. At low weight, patients with anorexia nervosa showed a systematic dissociation of the auditory evoked potential amplitude response between cortical and subcortical levels. After weight gain, patients had less dissociation, which was not seen in controls. Authors concluded that to reach regular modulation of sensory information, patients should gain normal weight.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b25-ndt-8-001">25</xref></p><p>Another study, by means of ERP, reported that body mass index in patients with anorexia nervosa significantly predicted N4 (a negative component occurring 400–600 ms after an incongruent unprimed word among contextually related primed words) amplitudes for a verbal task in the left hemisphere and P3 (P3 or P300 is a positive peak 300–600 ms after a stimulus) amplitudes for a nonverbal task in the right hemisphere.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b26-ndt-8-001">26</xref> At follow-up, patients with anorexia nervosa showed longer P3 amplitudes for the verbal task compared with the nonverbal task. The authors stated that these findings are evidence for localized brain dysfunction in anorexia nervosa that only partially normalizes with weight gain.</p><p>Highlighting the aforementioned controversy, the possible deficits in haptic exploration tasks (tasks based on the haptic recognition of objects, having stated that the information about the structure of the object may be stored in a similar way by the visual and haptic systems) have been explored before and after weight gain. The comparison of the theta power between controls and patients with anorexia nervosa during haptic exploration tasks showed major differences in both T<sub>0</sub> and T<sub>1</sub>. Theta power was lower in patients with anorexia nervosa than in controls over the right hemisphere and right parietal regions. It seemed that theta power changes indicated a cortical dysfunction and deficits in somatosensory integration processing of the right parietal cortex in patients with anorexia nervosa even after weight gain.<sub>27,28</sub> At rest, a theta asymmetry has been observed in patients with anorexia nervosa during the acute stage of starvation (T<sub>0</sub>) but not after weight gain (T<sub>1</sub>). The theta asymmetry over central regions has been observed in patients with anorexia nervosa during the acute stage of starvation (T<sub>0</sub>) as well as after weight gain (T<sub>1</sub>) while performing haptic exploration tasks. In healthy controls, no significant theta asymmetry either at rest or during haptic explorations was found.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b29-ndt-8-001">29</xref></p><p>Resting EEG before and after refeeding in “eyes open,” underweight patients with anorexia nervosa has shown reduced relative alpha power and increased beta power in frontal brain regions. A significant increase in alpha power and a decrease in beta and delta power have been observed within participants after refeeding. “Eyes closed” under-weight patients with anorexia nervosa had elevated theta power in parietal-occipital regions, which remained after refeeding.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30-ndt-8-001">30</xref></p><p>Methodology problems, mainly based on the variability of the samples (age, body mass index, chronicity, medication, experimental tasks, time of EEG testing), could explain the dispute in respect of the relationship between EEG changes/ weight changes.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30-ndt-8-001">30</xref> Nevertheless, the majority of studies have reported a relationship between weight changes and EEG changes. <xref ref-type="table" rid="t2-ndt-8-001">Table 2</xref> shows some relevant analyses about the relationship between EEG changes and weight changes in eating disorders.</p></sec><sec><title>Sleep-related eating disorders and night-eating syndrome</title><p>In 1955, Stunkard et al<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b31-ndt-8-001">31</xref> reported abnormal nocturnal eating as night eating syndrome (NES), which comprised nocturnal hyperphagia, insomnia, and morning anorexia. Following this, different polysomnographic (polysomnography is a standard tool in sleep medicine for evaluating sleep-related pathophysiology, sleep architecture, and sleep integrity) studies were published<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b32-ndt-8-001">32</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b33-ndt-8-001">33</xref> and, in 1991, Schenck et al<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b34-ndt-8-001">34</xref> identified sleep-related eating disorder (SRED). In cases of NES, patients eat in full wakefulness with overeating between dinner and bedtime and/or full awakenings with complete next-day recall. During eating episodes of SRED, patients eat under partial consciousness with limited subsequent recall.</p><p>A polysomnographic study of NES patients showed low levels of sleep efficiency, a high number of awakenings, and a strict relationship between nocturnal eating episodes and NREM sleep. The average length of each episode was 3.5 minutes, and the eating latency (interval between awakening and start of chewing) was shorter than 30 seconds in half of the episodes.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b35-ndt-8-001">35</xref></p><p>In 2006, a videopolysomnographic study conducted by Vetrugno et al<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b36-ndt-8-001">36</xref> in a sample of drug-free nocturnal eating patients showed that eating always occurred after complete awakening from NREM sleep (only occurring from REM sleep in one patient), and was characterized by EEG alpha activity with no dissociated features of state-dependent sleep variables. Patients were fully conscious and remembered the events the next day. Recurring chewing and swallowing movements during sleep were associated in half of the events with EEG arousals. This finding (eating during full alertness) is atypical compared with previously reported SRED; thus, the authors questioned whether it was SRED or NES.

The authors suggested that the lower-dimensional complexity observed in patients with anorexia nervosa might be caused by the long-lasting effects of malnutrition. In addition, it was suggested that the lack of omega complexity change in response to exposure of sweet taste in the left side observed in patients with anorexia nervosa might correspond to a decreased sensitivity to such stimuli in these patients.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b38-ndt-8-001">38</xref> Furthermore, it has been reported that patients with anorexia nervosa show a significantly higher percent of theta and a lower percent of alpha-1 band power, irrespective of the type of taste effects and hemispheric side when compared with controls.

As a result, BE patients showed greater frontal beta activity than the non-BE patients in both the eyes closed and the eyes open situations and independently of the stimulus (a picture of a landscape versus a meal).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40-ndt-8-001">40</xref> No differences were found in alpha, delta, or theta amplitudes. It seems that the elevated frontal beta activity might be a marker of the dysfunctional disinhibition–inhibition mechanism, which could make the obese BE patients more vulnerable or sensitive to food and environmental cues.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40-ndt-8-001">40</xref></p><p>Because appetitive conditioning is assumed to be altered in eating disorders among other psychopathological conditions, appetitive taste and appetitive taste conditioning have been studied by means of ERP in healthy subjects to improve the methodology to study the EEG responses to unconditioned appetitive stimuli. In this regard, a clear P1/ N1/P2 complex (which provides information regarding the arrival of sound information to the auditory cortex) and a late positive potential (P3) with maxima at right frontocentral electrode sites, in response to the taste stimuli have been reported. Of these components, the P3 in particular has shown great differences between sweet and neutral taste. In addition, the EEG responses to the taste-conditioned stimuli also showed the expected differences for both P2 and P3 at fronto-central electrodes.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b41-ndt-8-001">41</xref></p><p>In a combined ERP and behavioral study to explore explicit and implicit associations between shape/weight and self-evaluation by means of shape/weight-related prime sentences and congruent/incongruent target words, ERP, reaction times, and subjective ratings were used to assess the affective priming effects. Stronger affective priming effects were found in patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa compared with in healthy controls. ERP showed affective priming effects only in patients with bulimia nervosa. Eating disorder patients associate shape/weight concerns with the nonappearance-related self-evaluation domains of interpersonal relationships and achievement/performance. These associations seem to be encoded deeper in patients with bulimia nervosa.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42-ndt-8-001">42</xref></p><p>Recognition of emotional states is affected in eating disorders, and difficulties in recognizing emotions from facial expression have been reported in patients with anorexia nervosa. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b43-ndt-8-001">43</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b44-ndt-8-001">44</xref> Brain signals related to the perception of emotional faces are usually studied by means of ERP.

Hatch et al<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b51-ndt-8-001">51</xref> have recently reported that patients with anorexia nervosa had a significant alteration in ERP compared with healthy controls. Irrespective of the type of stimulus, early and late ERP components were reduced in patients with anorexia nervosa when underweight and after weight gain, especially in the temporo-occipital regions, suggesting a persistent disruption of the early automatic appraisal of salient emotional signals.</p><p>In two recent studies,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b52-ndt-8-001">52</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b53-ndt-8-001">53</xref> the oddball paradigm (a technique used in evoked potential research in which trains of stimuli that are usually auditory or visual are used to assess the neural reactions to unpredictable but recognizable events)<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b54-ndt-8-001">54</xref> has been applied to test the attention cortical responses to enlarged faces and the corresponding relationship with fat/ weight in normal-weight and obese subjects. A relationship between body fat and prefrontal attention processes to body image was found in normal-weight subjects. In addition, anterior-posterior cortical attention processes to face images declined in underweight subjects.</p><p>On the basis that central catecholamines, especially dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems, have affected the appetitive behavior in patients with anorexia nervosa, the characteristics of contingent negative variation (a slow negative-going ERP elicited by a warning stimulus that requires anticipation of a target stimulus) and postimperative negative variation (a slow brain potential observable after the onset of an imperative stimulus in a forewarned reaction time task) were studied in children with anorexia nervosa. These children showed diminished amplitude of the contingent negative variation and a significantly more attenuated early and late contingent negative variation amplitude at central midline than normal children. In respect of postimperative negative variation, no differences were found between children with anorexia nervosa and healthy children. It was suggested that early contingent negative variation might be diminished by norepinephrine deficiency and that late contingent negative variation might be attenuated by dopaminergic deficiency in children with anorexia nervosa. Reduced contingent negative variation might represent impaired cognitive processes, which reflect impaired appetitive behavior in children with anorexia nervosa.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b55-ndt-8-001">55</xref><xref ref-type="table" rid="t3-ndt-8-001">Table 3</xref> summarizes the main findings on stimuli presentation and EEG in eating disorders.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods"><title>Other lines of study</title><p>Other attempts have been developed to explore eating disorders and eating disturbances by means of EEG.

It seems that some alterations might persist after gaining weight, whereas some authors have reported complete normalization after refeeding.</p><p>With regard to NES and SRED, it must be noted that SRED can be caused, among other things, by nocturnal bulimia nervosa, nocturnal psychogenic dissociative disorder, medical triggers, or cessation of cigarette smoking. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b60-ndt-8-001">60</xref> It has therefore been suggested that SRED can be viewed as a final common pathway disorder that can be accessed by a variety of sleep disorders and medications.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b37-ndt-8-001">37</xref> Findings of studies that have analyzed the possible relationship between eating disorders and depression, based on sleep EEG disturbances, do not support the idea of eating disorders as a variant of depression or affective disorders.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14-ndt-8-001">14</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18-ndt-8-001">18</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b21-ndt-8-001">21</xref></p><p>Data from emotions-based studies by means of EEG firstly suggest that emotional face recognition involves the amygdala (fear/anger); the insula and basal ganglia (disgust); and the cingulate, medial frontal, and parietal cortices (happiness). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b65-ndt-8-001">65</xref> Neuroimaging studies have reported functional abnormalities in prefrontal, cingulated, and temporal areas as a response to different stimuli;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b64-ndt-8-001">64</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b66-ndt-8-001">66</xref> thus, the link between neuroimaging data and EEG data may better reflect some dysfunctional patterns. In fact, the observed reduced P300 response to negative emotional faces in patients with anorexia nervosa has been interpreted as possible evidence of decreased cognitive processing ability in respect of negative emotional faces, which could lead to social difficulties and, as a consequence, to the maintenance of eating disorders. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b50-ndt-8-001">50</xref> Some ERP findings are very consistent with previous neuroimaging results on patients with anorexia nervosa, reporting neural disturbances in response to stimuli that are relevant to the pathology (eg, stimuli like food exposure, different emotional situations, or body images).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b51-ndt-8-001">51</xref></p><p>Some of the most recent studies (2004–2011) are those related to the analysis of the response to different stimuli by means of ERP.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b38-ndt-8-001">38</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b45-ndt-8-001">45</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b50-ndt-8-001">50</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b51-ndt-8-001">51</xref> Some differences in that response have been found in eating disorder patients versus healthy controls.

However, a reduced alpha/increased beta EEG pattern seems to be related to states of undernutrition, causing functional deficits that have been reported to some extent by means of neuroimaging techniques in eating disorders. Whereas the reduced alpha/increased beta pattern changes with refeeding in eyes closed patients, elevated theta in parietal-occipital regions in underweight patients with anorexia nervosa remains after refeeding. These types of EEG findings are usually related not only to underweight but also to a high level of cortical activation.</p><p>The studies based on ERP by means of different stimuli permit the detection of functional abnormalities, which also have been observed by means of neuroimaging. Again, complementarity seems to exist between EEG and neuroimaging studies in terms of the study of overall functions, which are the result of an interaction among the different brain areas as well as the connections between them. In fact, eating disorders might reflect some disturbances of a system of interconnecting pathways or circuits in the brain.</p><p>Up to date research findings do not seem to be easily implemented in clinical practice. There are no accurate EEG biomarkers to be applied to guide the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorder patients. Above and beyond some changes with refeeding, there are no accurate parameters that could be useful from a clinical point of view.</p><p>In future, it seems that, besides neuroimaging, EEG might be a useful tool for the follow-up of patients, to establish what changes could be expected with refeeding or what disturbances remain unchanged despite weight gain. A study of EEG responses to different stimuli (food, emotions, body image) might be another future focus for research. In fact, Tóth et al<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b39-ndt-8-001">39</xref> asked whether EEG alterations are caused by changes in arousal or by the affective value of the applied stimuli.</p><p>A relevant factor in the development of anorexia nervosa might be a pathological perception of gustatory stimuli. To some extent, earlier research has been based on the study of patients with anorexia or bulimia nervosa. The response to food stimuli and to different emotional states among patients with obesity (especially those with BE disorder) may be another line of study in the future. In fact, there is a field of study based on the relationship between mental imagery and food craving (eg, Tiggeman and Kemps<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b69-ndt-8-001">69</xref>), which could be implemented in addition to EEG techniques. <xref ref-type="table" rid="t4-ndt-8-001">Table 4</xref> summarizes the most relevant findings on EEG and eating disorders.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn id="fn1-ndt-8-001"><p><bold>Disclosure</bold></p><p>The author reports no conflicts of interest in this work.</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="b1-ndt-8-001"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="book"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Niedermeyer</surname><given-names>E</given-names></name><name><surname>Lopes da Silva</surname><given-names>F</given-names></name></person-group><source>Electroencephalography: Basic Principles, Clinical Applications, and Related Fields</source><publisher-loc>Philadelphia, PA</publisher-loc><publisher-name>Lippincot Williams and Wilkins</publisher-name><year>2004</year></element-citation></ref><ref id="b2-ndt-8-001"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="book"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Gordon</surname><given-names>E</given-names></name><name><surname>Rennie</surname><given-names>C</given-names></name><name><surname>Toga</surname><given-names>A</given-names></name><name><surname>Mazziatta</surname><given-names>J</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Human brain imaging technologies</article-title><person-group person-group-type="editor"><name><surname>Gordon</surname><given-names>E</given-names></name></person-group><source>Integrative Neuroscience</source><publisher-loc>Amsterdam</publisher-loc><publisher-name>Harwood Academic Publishers</publisher-name><year>2005</year><fpage>233</fpage><lpage>244</lpage></element-citation></ref><ref id="b3-ndt-8-001"><label>3</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Teplan</surname><given-names>M</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Fundamentals of EEG measurement</article-title><source>Measurement Science Review</source><year>2002</year><volume>2</volume><issue>2</issue><fpage>1</fpage><lpage>11</lpage></element-citation></ref><ref id="b4-ndt-8-001"><label>4</label><element-citation publication-type="book"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Bickford</surname><given-names>RD</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Electroencephalography</article-title><person-group person-group-type="editor"><name><surname>Adelman</surname><given-names>G</given-names></name></person-group><source>Encyclopedia of Neuroscience</source><publisher-loc>Cambridge, MA</publisher-loc><publisher-name>Birkhauser</publisher-name><year>1987</year><fpage>371</fpage><lpage>373</lpage></element-citation></ref><ref id="b5-ndt-8-001"><label>5</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Picton</surname><given-names>TW</given-names></name><name><surname>Bentin</surname><given-names>S</given-names></name><name><surname>Berg</surname><given-names>P</given-names></name><name><surname>Donchin</surname><given-names>E</given-names></name><name><surname>Hillyard</surname><given-names>SA</given-names></name><name><surname>Johnson</surname><given-names>R</given-names><suffix>Jr</suffix></name><etal></etal></person-group><article-title>Guidelines for using event-related potentials to study cognition: recording standards and publication criteria</article-title><source>Psychophysiology</source><year>2000</year><volume>37</volume><fpage>127</fpage><lpage>152</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">10731765</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="b6-ndt-8-001"><label>6</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Goor</surname><given-names>C</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>EEG in anorexia nervosa</article-title><source>Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol</source><year>1954</year><volume>6</volume><fpage>350</fpage></element-citation></ref><ref id="b7-ndt-8-001"><label>7</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Martin</surname><given-names>F</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Pathological neurological and psychiatric aspects of some deficiency manifestations with digestive and neuro-endocrine disorders.
