Psychiatric Comorbidities in Functional Neurologic Symptom Disorder.

Attachment deficits in the context of psychosocial factors may explain the presence of functional neurologic disorder.

Shared white matter alterations across emotional disorders: A voxel-based meta-analysis of fractional anisotropy.

Background: White matter (WM) integrity may represent a shared biomarker for emotional disorders (ED). Aims: To identify transdiagnostic biomarkers of reduced WM by meta-analysis of findings across multiple EDs.

Method: Web of Science was searched systematically for studies of whole brain analysis of fractional anisotropy (FA) in adults with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder or posttraumatic stress disorder compared with a healthy control (HC) group.

Social cognition in patients following surgery to the prefrontal cortex.

Impaired social cognition, including emotion recognition, may explain dysfunctional emotional and social behaviour in patients with lesions to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC). However, the VMPFC is a large, poorly defined area that can be sub-divided into orbital and medial sectors. We sought to investigate social cognition in patients with discrete, surgically circumscribed prefrontal lesions.
