How anorexia can disrupt hunger signals
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Eating disorders fundamentally short-circuit the brain's internal communication network. People with anorexia nervosa suffer from severe interoception deficits, meaning their insular cortex stops accurately processing standard signals from their heart, stomach, and lungs. They don't just ignore hunger; their brain physically stops feeling the biological screams of an empty, starving stomach.
One discovery leads to another.
