AI synopsis

What people are saying

The collection of discussions shows a strong support for the neuroimaging approach, with posts referencing specific studies on cortical thickness and brain network disruptions, and emphasizing that FMD is increasingly understood as a brain-based disorder. The tone is enthusiastic and forward-looking, indicating a shift in the scientific understanding and potential clinical impact.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most posts express support for the view that neuroimaging provides a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of functional movement disorders, indicating a consensus or shared appreciation for the neurobiological perspective.

InterestHigh interest

The discussion demonstrates a high level of curiosity and engagement with recent scientific findings, as many posts reference specific studies, methodologies, and ongoing research efforts.

EngagementHigh engagement

Posts go beyond surface-level comments, discussing detailed brain mechanisms, structural changes, and the implications for understanding the disorder, showing deep engagement with the material.

ImpactHigh impact

The discussion emphasizes how neuroimaging is transforming perspectives on FMD, challenging older psychological models, and potentially influencing future research and treatment approaches, thus highlighting significant scientific and clinical implication

Abstract in brief

  • Neuroimaging of functional movement disorders is helping researchers understand the complex brain processes involved, moving away from older psychological explanations and towards models that highlight emotional processing, self-awareness, and the sense of control.
  • Recent brain imaging studies show that people with these disorders might have subtle structural brain changes, suggesting there are physical brain features involved, rather than these disorders being purely "functional" or purely psychological.
  • Overall, new evidence points to a neurobiological basis for functional movement disorders, highlighting the importance of brain activity and structure in understanding and potentially treating these conditions.]

Time and neuroimaging have not been kind to Slater’s view. There are studies now that show FND arises from the brain, and capturing some of its unique dynamics https://t.co/hGfUqNha07

13/To my mind this is much better, more expansive and inclusive framework through which to view this complex condition. For more info- https://t.co/GQ5N5TK44x.

@stay_human1 @FndPortal I don't have access to it, but see for example this earlier article https://t.co/BxhrT6SLes: "subtle changes in volume and cortical thickness, particularly in areas thought to be involved in stress-related neuroplasticity"

@OnlyEnnui The Harvard-associated Perez lab has also done an entire series of structural and functional MRI studies on people w FND It’s definitely a distinct thing that can be objectively observed + distinguished from other disorders https://t.co/hGfUqNha07

@OnlyEnnui 1) FNDs are by definition different than CCIs, infections, and “other causes.” FND is a disruption of communication of brain networks 2) here’s just one paper about observed brain disturbances in FND (although there are many others) https://t.co/hGfUqNha07
