Abstract:
Anxiety and depression are common conditions among patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)which may induce or aggravate intestinal symptoms. Psychological factors are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of IBS via both central and peripheral pathways,and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)revealed that several brain areas,such as anterior cingulate cortex and prefrontal cortex,are associated with IBS,anxiety and depression. This article reviewed the use of fMRI for studying the correlation of IBS brain activity with anxiety and depression and its role in the central pathogenesis of IBS.
