A very interesting article on FND that features Dr Mark Hallett, Neurologist who passed away recently (RIP). Hallett recalls. “It was the first evidence we had that shows that there are brain abnormalities in these patients" 💚🧡 magazine.hms.harvard.edu/articles/fun... #FNDIreland #FND

Thanks for the post @alancarson15.bsky.social - grateful that the Harvard Medical School magazine put together this spotlight on functional neurological disorder.

@HarvardMedicine have done a great job with this article on FND, focused on the contribution of colleagues working there, including Barbara Dworetzky, David Perez and alumnus Mark Hallett. magazine.hms.harvard.edu/articles/fun...

There are a lot of difficult challenges around FND (understanding brain dynamics, developing new treatments, etc). But the most *important* problems are much more easily solved - and yet I hear from folks about these same issues in the community over and over. Here’s a few 👇

Finally, Jungilligens and Perez show how functional neurological disorder may stem from erroneous brain-body integration, highlighting predictive processing as a framework for understanding motor and sensory symptoms, expectation, self-agency, & illness beliefs. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38755514/

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

Findings from multimodal clinical assessments of persons who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) about 5 months prior suggest that post-TBI depression may not be a unitary construct but rather a condition encompassing clusters of symptoms. bit.ly/4nn6gAJ

A systematic review of psychotherapy for FND showed probable benefit across a range of symptoms from CBT and PDT in 19 studies. I proposed that the lack of conclusive evidence may relate to the heterogeneity of FND requiring tailored treatment. 2/5 doi.org/10.1136/jnnp...
