Objective: As anorectic and bulimic patients present similar clinical and neurobiological symptoms, the purpose of this study was to compare brain glucose metabolism at rest in these patients. Method: Positron emission tomography with (18-F)-fluorodeoxyglucose was used to evaluate cerebral glucose m
