ABSTRACT Good brain health plays a significant role in an individual's well‐being and profoundly impacts the collective economy society. Brain development does not stop at birth, some aspects continue throughout childhood adolescence, allowing full of cognitive functions. Different determinants related to physical health, healthy environments, safety security, life‐long learning social connection as well access quality services influence way our brains develop, adapt respond stress adversity. Ongoing progress neurobiology neuroscience allows design better prevention intervention strategies help avoid deficits and/or limit their impact maintain health. The European Council (EBC) convened expert meeting during Federation Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2024 address youth challenges. In recent years, importance has garnered attention across scientific, medical policy‐making communities. Although much focus traditionally been on neurodegenerative conditions affecting elderly, paradigm shift towards prioritizing is both timely necessary. This can individual lives society, necessitating interdisciplinary approach that brings forefront public informs evidence‐based policy. topic utmost EBC launched this year new campaign No Health Without rallying support with its member organizations wider community for increased prioritization EU research agendas.

A software information module of the experimental computer platform “EEG_Self-Construct” was developed and tested in framework this study. This can be applied for identification neurophysiological markers self-referential processes based on joint use EEG facial video recording to induce brain’s functional states associated with participants’ personality traits. a group non-clinical participants varying degrees severity autistic traits (APT) according Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire.

Temporomandibular disorders and mental health: shared etiologies and treatment approaches

The Journal of Headache and Pain, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 26(1)

Published: March 12, 2025

The biopsychosocial model suggests that temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) often coexist with mental health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety, affecting a significant portion of the global population. interplay between TMDs contributes to complex comorbidity, perpetuating cycle mutual influence reinforcement. This review investigates neurobiological mechanisms epidemiological evidence supporting shared etiology exploring potential vulnerabilities bidirectional causal relationships. Shared may stem from genetic epigenetic predispositions, psychosocial factors, behavioral aspects. Inflammatory cytokines, neurotransmitters, neurotrophins, neuropeptides play pivotal roles in both peripheral central sensitization as well neuroinflammation. Brain imaging studies suggest exhibit overlapping brain regions indicative reward processing deficits anomalies within triple network model. Future research efforts are crucial for developing comprehensive understanding underlying confirming reciprocal effects disorders. provides valuable insights oral healthcare professionals, stressing importance optimizing treatment strategies individuals dealing concurrent issues through personalized, holistic, multidisciplinary approach.
