The amygdala plays an important functional role in fear and anxiety. Abnormalities the are believed to be involved neurobiological basis of panic disorder (PD). Previous structural neuroimaging studies have found global volumetric morphological abnormalities patients with PD. Very few studies, however, explored for various sub-regions, which consist sub-nuclei, each different functions. This study aimed evaluate order provide a better understanding Thirty-eight PD 38 matched healthy control...
The thalamus is believed to play crucial role in processing viscero-sensory information, and regulating the activity of amygdala patients with panic disorder (PD). Previous functional neuroimaging studies have detected abnormal activation PD compared healthy control subjects (HC). Very few studies, however, investigated for volumetric abnormalities PD. Furthermore, best our knowledge, no previous study has shape Twenty-five 25 HC participants (all female) were recruited study. A voxel-wise...
In this study, we implemented the Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) program for middle-aged older patients with schizophrenia hospitalized long periods assessed effect of IMR on psychiatric symptoms psychosocial function.
