Brain regions predicting symptomatic improvement of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) by psilocybin

Caption

Whole brain multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) reveals that seed brain regions including the thalamus [8 -6 8] (yellow), insula [-42 8 -6] (green), inferior parietal lobe (IPL) [-54 -38 38] (red), and ACC [16 34 24] (blue) predicted symptomatic improvement of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) at one week following a single dose of psilocybin. Using these clusters as seed regions, no further regions were identified.
