Brain Imaging Symposium focused on on breaking barriers in treatment assessment and prediction in psychiatryLast week, the fifth Brain Imaging Symposium was hosted at Amsterdam UMC, location AMC. This edition focused on breaking barriers in treatment assessment and prediction in psychiatry and was hosted by program leader Matthan Caan. The three speakers explored their search for brain MRI metrics that could help predict treatment outcomes.
Stress reshapes brain circuits to drive overeatingA team of researchers including postdoctoral researcher Laura Supiot and Danai Riga has uncovered how stress can drive overeating by reshaping a specific brain circuit. Their study identifies a complex neural network that is essential for stress-induced eating, providing new insights into the brain mechanisms linking stress and food intake. The findings have been published in Nature Communications.
