Summary
Functional neurological disorders involve complex brain network dysfunctions influenced by biological vulnerability and stress. Understanding these biopsychosocial factors is key for effective patient care and treatment development.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
- Medical Biology
Background:
- Functional neurological disorders (FNDs) have been extensively studied using neuroimaging for over two decades.
- Research synthesis is needed to understand current findings and etiological hypotheses.
- This review aims to aid clinicians and patients in understanding the biological underpinnings of FNDs.
Conclusions:
- Understanding the biopsychosocial determinants of brain network dysfunction in FNDs is crucial.
- This knowledge is essential for developing targeted treatments.
- Improved understanding is critical for patient care and management of functional neurological symptoms.

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

01:15Parkinson's Disease: Overview
606
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

01:29Biological Causes of Schizophrenia
103
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.

Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...
