TL;DR: Patients with conversion disorder had greater functional connectivity between the right amygdala and the right supplementary motor area during both fearful versus neutral, and happy versus neutral 'stimuli' compared with healthy volunteers, providing a potential neural mechanism that may explain why psychological or physiological stressors can trigger or exacerbate conversion disorder symptoms in some patients.

TL;DR: Improvements in suicidal ideation after ketamine infusion are related to, but not completely driven by, improvements in depression and anxiety.

TL;DR: It was found that ketamine rapidly reduced the levels of anhedonia, and this reduction occurred independently from reductions in general depressive Symptoms, and was specifically related to increased glucose metabolism in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and putamen.

TL;DR: The findings highlight a biopsychosocial approach toward the pathophysiology of psychogenic movement disorder, although the association with psychological issues is much less prominent than expected compared with the nonepileptic seizure population.

TL;DR: The decreased functional connectivity between the right TPJ and bilateral sensorimotor regions observed in patients with functional movement disorders supports a model whereby impaired motor feed-forward together with altered sensory feedback from sensorim motor regions and areas of sensorimMotor integration to the rightTPJ contributes to patients' impaired sense of self-agency.
