Study, Oct./16: Pharmaco fMRI: Checking the functional anatomy of meds' effects

[[La...]]

I couldn't get the full title into the subject line, but this English study is called "Pharmaco fMRI: Determining the functional anatomy of the effects of medication". I actually found the whole study for this one, so if you're interested in the topic, you can delve into a bit.  It looks at functional MRI (fMRIs) on subjects who have taken certain types of medications, and it considers its efficacy in producing usable information.

 

Here's an excerpt from the abstract, which explains the focus of the study:

 

"In this review, we discuss recent ph-MRI research in three major neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders and associated network alterations, namely selective serotonin and noradrenergic reuptake inhibitors in affective disorders and emotional processing circuits; antiepileptic drugs in epilepsy and cognitive networks; and stimulants in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and networks of attention control."
