This is one of the first study investigating brain alterations on different levels simultaneously in pED patients. Our results suggested that pED involves multi-level aberrant brain representations in multi-dimensional neurobehavioral components, which closely interrelated with cognitive and psychosocial factors, that is, attention, appraisal, emotion, and sensorimotor. Our findings are likely to help foster new insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of pED and the aberrant brain regions may serve as potential therapeutic targets for targeted therapy for brain.
