Eating Disorders in the News

When it comes to size, our brains can't handle the truth
Scientists have found our brains contain distorted representations of the size and shape of our hands, with a tendency to think of them as shorter and fatter than they are. The work could have implications for how the brain unconsciously perceives other parts of the body and may help explain certain eating disorders in which body image becomes distorted.
