Research Abstract |
We investigated neural bases underlying common psychological characteristics among psychosomatic diseases, such as stress vulnerability and somatization, by using neuroimaging methods. The results suggested that neural correlates of stress vulnerability is related to dysfunction of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the ventral anterior cingulate cortex, and those of somatization is related to altered activation patterns in the anterior insula and the somatosensory area. The results support the effectiveness of psychological intervention to the patients with any types of psychosomatic diseases.
