Perfectionism in Young Children May Indicate OCD Risk

A new study reports children who exhibit excessive self control and have tendencies toward perfectionism are twice as likely to develop OCD by their teenage years. Researchers report perfectionist children often have smaller dorsal anterior cingulate cortex volume, an area of the brain linked to OCD.

Machine Learning Helps Predict Treatment Outcomes in Schizophrenia

A machine learning algorithm is able to successfully identify, with 78% accuracy, schizophrenia in patients based on brain scans of the superior temporal cortex. The algorithm is also 82% accurate in predicting whether or not a patient will respond positively to a specific antipsychotic medication.

Prenatal Exposure to Folic Acid Fortification of Food May Reduce Mental Health Risks in Children

A new study reports the offspring of women who eat a diet rich of foods fortified with folic acid while pregnant have a reduced risk of being diagnosed with a mental illness later in life. The study reports those who had increased in-utero folic acid exposure had increased cortical thickness and delayed thinning of the cerebral cortex.

Feeling Young Could Mean Your Brain is Aging More Slowly

People often say you are only as old as you feel. This may be the case for the aging brain. Researchers say older people who feel younger than their age have increased gray matter volume in key brain regions, fewer signs of brain aging and performed better on cognitive tests than those who felt their actual age.
