   Interesting study.  Unfortunately if I understand it right, anorexia is at   
   least or more affected by societal stimuli than just mental/chemical ones.   
   Yes, it's a mental illness, but it's triggered by social expectations, media   
   images and advertising, and the attitudes of friends, to start.  I doubt   
   some brain-poking can effectively overcome so much of what anorexics see   
   around them and experience socially.
