- Researchers analyzed 1,752 records and included 95 relevant studies that utilized imaging techniques like fMRI and sMRI to identify structural and functional brain alterations linked to delusions.
- Key findings indicate that both specific and nonspecific delusions, particularly paranoia, are associated with changes in brain regions including the superior temporal cortex, anterior cingulate/medial prefrontal cortex, and insula.

Article Synopsis
- Ekbom's syndrome, or delusional parasitosis, is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by a strong belief in having an infestation without hallucinations or major thought issues.
- It has two forms: primary, which features delusions and unusual sensations, and secondary, caused by an underlying health issue.
- A case study shows that atypical antipsychotics like aripiprazole and brexpiprazole can effectively treat primary Ekbom's syndrome, with brexpiprazole potentially causing fewer side effects like tremors.
