Where does normal behavior end and pathology begin? What roles do neurobiology, culture, and family play in the development and course of eating disorders? Scientists addressed these issues at a seminar, "Eating Disorders: Fads and Facts," presenting the latest research on the biological, genetic, and psychological factors associated with these disorders. Listen to one of the presentations, and write a brief summary of the position presented. Post this summary on the class bulletin board system.
