Kumar 2017 findings of altered myelination in vmPFC in Misophonia

a 2017 study by Kumar and colleagues examined structural and functional brain abnormalities in Misophonics. this was accomplished through controlled exposure to 3 sound classes ( triggers, generally aversive, neutral) while fMRI, heart rate, galvanic skin response, and subjective self reports were collected. they found enhanced myelination within the vmPFC in Misophonics, suggesting a role in the neural basis of Misophonia.
