Neurotransmitter-related functional connectivity changes in serotonin and dopamine systems after mindfulness in medication overuse headache.

Cephalalgia June 1, 2025 Davide Fedeli, Giuseppe Ciullo, Greta Demichelis et al. 7 citations

Background/HypothesisMindfulness practice has gained attention in managing chronic migraine with medication overuse headache (CM-MOH), showing clinical improvements and functional connectivity reorganization. However, the relationship between these effects and the underlying neurotransmitter systems remains unexplored.MethodsThirty-four CM-MOH patients were divided into treatment as usual (TaU,...

Longitudinal neurofunctional changes in medication overuse headache patients after mindfulness practice in a randomized controlled trial (the MIND-CM study).

The Journal of Headache and Pain June 11, 2024 Davide Fedeli, Giuseppe Ciullo, Greta Demichelis et al. 17 citations

Mindfulness practice has gained interest in the management of Chronic Migraine associated with Medication Overuse Headache (CM-MOH). Mindfulness is characterized by present-moment self-awareness and relies on attention control and emotion regulation, improving headache-related pain management. Mindfulness modulates the Default Mode Network (DMN), Salience Network (SN), and Fronto-Parietal...

Fear of missing out (FOMO) associates with reduced cortical thickness in core regions of the posterior default mode network and higher levels of problematic smartphone and social media use.

Addictive Behaviors March 25, 2023 Lan Wang, Xinqi Zhou, Xinwei Song et al.

Background and aims: Fear of missing out (FOMO) promotes the desire or urge to stay continuously connected with a social reference group and updated on their activities, which may result in escalating and potentially addictive smartphone and social media use. The present study aimed to determine whether the neurobiological basis of FOMO encompasses core regions of the reward circuitry or social...

A neural network approach to fMRI binocular visual rivalry task analysis.

PLoS One 2014 Nicola Bertolino, Stefania Ferraro, Anna Nigri et al.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether artificial neural networks (ANN) are able to decode participants' conscious experience perception from brain activity alone, using complex and ecological stimuli. To reach the aim we conducted pattern recognition data analysis on fMRI data acquired during the execution of a binocular visual rivalry paradigm (BR). Twelve healthy participants...
