Journal ArticleDOI
Medial Prefrontal Cortex Activity Associated With Symptom Provocation in Eating Disorders
Rudolf Uher,Tytus Murphy,Michael Brammer,Tim Dalgleish,Mary L. Phillips,Virginia Ng,C. Andrew,Steven Williams,Iain C. Campbell,Janet Treasure +9 more
TL;DR: A medial prefrontal response to symptom-provoking stimuli was identified as a common feature of anorexia and bulimia nervosa and supports a conceptualization of eating disorders as being transdiagnostic at the neural level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Neuroanatomy of Body Shape Perception in Healthy and Eating-Disordered Women
Rudolf Uher,Tara Murphy,Hans-Christoph Friederich,Tim Dalgleish,Michael Brammer,Vincent Giampietro,Mary L. Phillips,C. Andrew,Virginia Ng,Steven Williams,Iain C. Campbell,Janet Treasure +11 more
TL;DR: Processing of female body shapes engages a distributed neural network, parts of which are underactive in women with eating disorders, which is associated with differential activity in the prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical Processing of Human Somatic and Visceral Sensation
Qasim Aziz,David G. Thompson,Virginia Ng,Shaheen Hamdy,Sanchoy Sarkar,Mick Brammer,Edward T. Bullmore,Anthony Hobson,Irene Tracey,L.J. Gregory,Andrew Simmons,Scr Williams +11 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging findings suggest that cortical specialization in the sensory-discriminative, affective, and cognitive areas of the cortex accounts for the perceptual differences observed between the two sensory modalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frontotemporal white matter changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Sharon Abrahams,Laura H. Goldstein,John Suckling,Virginia Ng,Andrew Simmons,X A Chitnis,Louise Atkins,Steve C.R. Williams,Peter Leigh +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis of a continuum of extra–motor cerebral and cognitive change in ALS patients with no evidence of cognitive change is supported, and structural white matter abnormalities in frontal and temporal regions revealed here may underlie the cognitive and functional imaging abnormalities previously reported in non–demented ALS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery and chronicity in anorexia nervosa: brain activity associated with differential outcomes.
Rudolf Uher,Michael Brammer,Tara Murphy,Iain C. Campbell,Virginia Ng,Steven Williams,Janet Treasure +6 more
TL;DR: Separate neural correlates underlie trait and state characteristics of anorexia nervosa may be related to trait vulnerability and lateral and apical prefrontal involvement is associated with a good outcome.
