Enhanced Early Neuronal Processing of Food Pictures in Anorexia Nervosa: A Magnetoencephalography Study

Figure 3

Mean amplitude of neural activity (ft/cm) for the two peak times of interest shown in sensor space (gradiometers) for each experimental group. Neural activity is shown with 10 milliseconds either side of the 150 and 320 milliseconds peaks after stimulus (all food pictures versus baseline). The scale used was 0–5 ft/cm with the exception of the 310–330 milliseconds’ time period in the AN-R group, for which a scale of 0–3 ft/cm was used for visualisation purposes. AN-C: acute Anorexia Nervosa group, AN-R: recovered Anorexia Nervosa group, and HC: healthy control group.
