Recent Advances in Habenula Imaging Technology: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 737-746, March 2024.
The habenula (Hb) is involved in many natural human behaviors, and the relevance of its alterations in size and neural activity to several psychiatric disorders and addictive behaviors has been presumed and investigated in recent years using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Deep Brain Stimulation for Obesity: From a Theoretical Framework to Practical Application

Neural Plasticity, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Obesity remains a pervasive global health problem. While there are a number of nonsurgical and surgical options for treatment, the incidence of obesity continues to increase at an alarming rate. The inability to curtail the growing rise of the obesity epidemic may be related to a combination of increased food availability and palatability.

Connectome‐Scale Assessments of Functional Connectivity in Children with Primary Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) is a common developmental disorder in children. Previous literature has suggested that PMNE not only is a micturition disorder but also is characterized by cerebral structure abnormalities and dysfunction. However, the biological mechanisms underlying the disease are not thoroughly understood.

On deciding to have a lobotomy:either lobotomies were justified or decisions under risk should not always seek to maximise expected utility [PDF]

In the 1940s and 1950s thousands of lobotomies were performed on people with mental disorders. These operations were known to be dangerous, but thought to offer great hope. Nowadays, the lobotomies of the 1940s and 1950s are widely condemned.

Multivariate pattern analysis of DTI reveals differential white matter in individuals with obsessive‐compulsive disorder

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 2643-2651, June 2014., 2014
Abstract Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have revealed group differences in white matter between patients with obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) and healthy controls. However, the results of these studies were based on average differences between the two groups, and therefore had limited clinical applicability.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies on Chinese Patients with Social Anxiety Disorder

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The aim of this study was to explore white‐matter disruption in social anxiety disorder (SAD) patients by using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and to investigate the relationship between cerebral abnormalities and the severity of the symptoms. Eighteen SAD patients and age‐ and gender‐matched healthy controls were recruited. DTI scans were performed to
