The Occipital-Fronto-Limbic Circuit of Body Dysmorphic Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Neuroimaging Studies

This comprehensive review of up-to-date neurobiological studies of individuals with BDD reveals differences in brain structure and functionality compared with control participants. The proposed neurocircuitry model expands on the previous understanding of BDD neurobiology and elucidates the interconnection between the visual processing, temporal-limbic, and frontostriatal networks and their clinical implications. This review provides theoretical support for future neuromodulation target identification.

Abstract

This comprehensive review of up-to-date neurobiological studies of individuals with BDD reveals differences in brain structure and functionality compared with control participants. The proposed neurocircuitry model expands on the previous understanding of BDD neurobiology and elucidates the interconnection between the visual processing, temporal-limbic, and frontostriatal networks and their clinical implications. This review provides theoretical support for future neuromodulation target identification.
