Unraveling Schizophrenia: Unveiling Disrupted Brain Connectivity

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News

A study published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging has revealed differences in functional brain connectivity in individuals with schizophrenia, shedding light on the neural basis of the disorder. Using advanced brain imaging and mathematical techniques, researchers found impairment in the organizational pattern that differentiates visual and sensorimotor pathways in those with schizophrenia. This impairment was linked to the clinical symptoms of the disease, providing insights into its mechanisms. The findings suggest that changes in brain organization may offer valuable insights into the progression and mechanisms of schizophrenia, potentially leading to new approaches for treatment.

Unveiling Uncertainty Processing Peculiarities in OCD through Brain Imaging

Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost

A brain imaging study has revealed that individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) exhibit peculiarities in their decision-making process. The study found that those with OCD were more cautious, took longer to make choices, and had less successful outcomes compared to healthy participants. Functional brain imaging showed that individuals with OCD had difficulty differentiating between high and low uncertainty, with reduced brain activity in regions associated with uncertainty processing. These findings shed light on the complexities of OCD decision-making and may contribute to the development of targeted interventions and therapies for the disorder.
