The neuroanatomy of Somatoform Disorders: a Magnetic Resonance Imaging study

Somatoform Disorders (SD) are a heterogeneous group of psychiatric syndromes characterized by common symptoms, which may mimic a physical condition but they are not explained by a medical condition. Although the biological nature of this disorder has been widely accepted, the neuroanatomical correlates characterizing SD are still inconclusive. Therefore, this study aims to explore GM volume alterations in SD patients compared to HC and their possible association with clinical and cognitive measures.
