Abstrakt: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder that is thought to emerge through biological predisposition(s) within sociocultural context(s). Practical and ethical concerns limit study of the etiology of this disorder in humans, and in particular the biological aspects. Laboratory animal models have a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of the neurobiological, physiological and behavioral aspects of this disorder, and developing new treatment strategies. One shortcoming of animal models, including activity based anorexia (ABA) in rodents, is that they cannot fully capture the contextual aspects of AN. In this article we discuss the merits of an alternate approach, cost-based anorexia (CBA). CBA is conceptually founded in behavioral economics and its magnitude is influenced by several relevant contextual aspects of feeding.
