FUNCTIONAL BRAIN IMAGING IN SUICIDAL PATIENTS

Kees Van Heeringen ; Universiteit van Gent, Unit for Suicide Research, Ghent, Belgium

Abstract

A systematic review of comparative neuroimaging studies of suicidal brains was carried out. Changes in the structure and
functions of the brain in association with suicidal behaviour are mainly found in the orbitofrontal and dorsolateral parts of the
prefrontal cortex. These changes are related to neuropsychological disturbances in decision-making, problem solving and fluency.
