Anterior hippocampal grey matter predicts mental health outcome in functional neurological disorders: an exploratory pilot study | Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry


Description

Advancements in the management of FND emphasise a ‘rule-in’ diagnosis and roles for cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)1 and physical therapy (PT).2 Neuroimaging studies have also started delineating the neuropathophysiology of FND.3 In the same cohort as this present study, we previously identified that impaired mental health and increased trait anxiety correlated with individual differences in amygdalar volume in patients with FND, while diminished physical functioning was associated with reduced anterior insular volume.4 In FND, the magnitude of adverse life event burden also correlated with decreased insular and hippocampal volumes.5.
