PROJECT NARRATIVE
There is no effective treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN), and there are no novel therapeutic
targets in the pipeline. We developed a new mouse model to study AN at the stage of illness
prior to disease conversion by combining genetic, biological and psychological risk factors that
occur in humans. The proposed experiments are designed to map circuits in the brain responsible
for anorexic behavior in this model.
