Abstract
Decreased activation in frontoparietal regions involved in decision making, but faster and more consistent choice behavior, suggests that the altered efficiency of neural resource allocation might underlie an increased level of self-control in AN. This pattern of neural activation and behavior might reflect an ingrained “habit” to sustain high-level proactive (anticipatory) cognitive control in AN, which in turn might compromise reactive control mechanisms needed to adapt to changing cognitive demands, such as when difficult decisions must be made.
