Abstract Juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM) is a chronic pain syndrome predominantly affecting adolescent girls. Resilience may be protective factor in coping with pain, reducing affective burden, and promoting positive outlooks. Brain regions affected JFM overlap those linked to resilience, particularly the default-mode network (DMN). We investigate role of resilience on core somatic symptoms assess neurophysiological substrates for first time. Forty-one girls 40 pain-free adolescents completed...

Abstract Maladaptive emotion regulation contributes to overeating and impedes weight loss. Our study aimed compare the voluntary downregulation of negative emotions by means cognitive reappraisal in adult women with obesity (OB) female healthy controls (HC) using a data-driven, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach. Women OB ( n = 24) HC 25) carried out an task during functional MRI scanning. Seed-to-voxel resting-state connectivity patterns derived from activation peaks...

Significance Previous research has explored the association between behavioral disorders and dysfunction in corresponding neural networks. For example, autism spectrum disorder, Prader–Willi syndrome, Dravet syndrome are characterized by deficits visuomotor integration system. To date, few investigations have combined brain connectomic–genetic data to investigate biological basis of childhood neurodevelopment clinical syndromes. The present study provides evidence a link expression...

Abstract Background Preliminary evidence suggests that hoarding disorder (HD) and obsessive-compulsive (OCD) may show distinct patterns of brain activation during executive performance, although results have been inconclusive regarding the specific neural correlates their differential dysfunction. In current study, we aim to evaluate differences in between patients with HD, OCD healthy controls (HCs) response inhibition, switching error processing. Methods We assessed 17 18 19 HCs. Executive...

Juvenile-onset fibromyalgia (JFM) is a paradigmatic chronic pain condition for which the underlying neurobiological substrates are poorly understood. This study examined, first time, data-driven resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) alterations in 37 female adolescents with JFM compared 43 healthy and identified associations bodily pain.

Juvenile fibromyalgia (FM) is a prevalent chronic pain condition affecting children and adolescents worldwide during critical period of brain development. To date, no published studies have addressed the pathophysiology juvenile FM. This study was undertaken to characterize gray matter volume (GMV) alterations in FM patients for first time, investigate their functional clinical relevance.Thirty-four female with 38 healthy underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging examination completed...

Juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM) is a chronic widespread pain condition that primarily affects adolescent girls. Previous studies have found increased sensitivity to noxious pressure in adolescents with JFM. However, the underlying changes brain systems remain unclear. The aim of this study was characterize pain-evoked responses and identify mediators hypersensitivity girls Thirty-three JFM 33 healthy underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging scans involving applied left thumbnail at an...

Obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCSs) during childhood predispose to obsessive-compulsive disorder and have been associated with changes in brain circuits altered samples. OCSs may arise from disturbed glutamatergic neurotransmission, impairing cognitive oscillations promoting overstable functional states.A total of 227 healthy children completed the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Child Version underwent a resting-state magnetic resonance imaging examination. Genome-wide data were obtained...
