Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will examine the neural and behavioral correlates of emotion regulation in adolescents engaging in binge eating and/or purging and healthy adolescents. Furthermore, it will look at the influence of executive function on emotion regulation in this population. This study will allow us to gain further understanding of the neural basis of emotion regulation in this age group. Moreover, this study supports the need to develop new treatment approaches based on a better understanding of the brain processes associated with eating disorders.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Female
* Ages 14-18
* with or without current binge eating and/or purging behaviors

Exclusion Criteria

We exclude patients of clinically significant low weight (\<85% ideal body weight using CDC norms for height, age, and gender) and those with contraindications for MRI (e.g., orthodontia, metallic implants). Participants also will be without evidence of current or past major neurological (e.g., seizures, psychosis, head trauma) or major sensory deficit.
