What is the purpose of the study?
We have developed a scan to detect the change in brain and we have used it to study many different illnesses. In this study, we plan to use this scan to look at brain inflammation in those experiencing depression and some common comorbidities, including AN. We hope that results from this study would help develop novel therapeutics and improve personalizing treatment for those diseases.
