In recent years, much effort has been made to understand the brain mechanisms of misophonia. In this study, the researchers hypothesized that the mirror neuron system related to orofacial movements could underlie misophonia.
The researchers investigated the neural processes of social cognition that may underlie binge drinking, as well as potential differences between sexes.
Model, which was trained on data from one institution and tested on data from a second institution, had area under the curve of 0.78
Psilocybin has been shown to have antidepressant properties. With direct comparisons between psilocybin and established treatments for depression lacking, the study researchers looked at psilocybin and escitalopram.
The researchers tested whether antisocial personalities are associated with similar structural and neural alterations as those observed in criminal psychopathy.
With most studies only focusing on interhemispheric connectivity in major depressive disorder (MDD), the researchers looked at brain functional connectivity asymmetry in MDD.
The goals of this study were to identify functional connectome fingerprints that predict symptom improvement with any treatment and with specific treatment.
While trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy is an important component of evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder, the efficacy of treatment can vary between individuals. It is thought that some of this variability is derived from interindividual differences in the brain’s intrinsic response to trauma-related stimuli and in activity of executive functional regions. The authors of this study sought to characterize these differences using a functional MRI in patients about to undergo CBT for PTSD.
This study is the first to prospectively examine the impact of an extreme drinking episode on the brain morphometry of emerging adults.
Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 181 publications that contrasted the neural activity of subjects with anxiety with subjects in control groups or healthy subjects in a safe condition with healthy subjects in an unpredictable-threat condition.
