Does it bother you to hear someone chew? Maybe you have misophonie

During misophony, you experience an uncomfortable feeling and a higher heart rate when you hear sounds from other people

These findings, Newcastle University cognitive neurology professor, Tim Griffiths, may help find new therapeutic options for these patients, as well other disorders badociated with abnormal emotional reactions.

] Cd. Of Mexico.- The brain of people suffering from misophonia, psychiatric disorder causing a lack of tolerance to the everyday sounds produced by the bodies of others, such as eating or coughing, goes faster than normal It causes unpleasant sensations.

This was demonstrated by researchers at the University of Newcastle, UK, whose work was published in the journal Current Biology, after badyzing, by means of brain scans carried out with resonances magnetic, how of the misofonía to sounds such as the rain, the scream of a baby, a person who screams, the breath or the sound that a person produces chewing.

It was discovered that the neural network responsible for decoding the oral language was reorganized during the process of learning to read

In this way, the researchers discovered that there was a physical difference in the lobe Cerebral hemisphere of the affected and unaffected, because those who suffered had a greater myelination of the gray matter of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex.

In addition, they observed an abnormal link between this region of the lobe and this region. the anterior and anterior insular cortex, which plays a vital role in the treatment of emotions and signals received from the organism itself as well as from the outside world.

All this, as explained by the experts, this causes in these people an unpleasant sensation, an acceleration of the heart rate and an increase of perspiration when they hear sounds from others. people.

New Treatments

"For many people with misophonie, this will be good news because for the first time we have shown that there is a difference in the structure and function of their brain, "explained the labor manager. and member of the Neuroscience Institute of Newcastle University, Sukhbinder Kumar.
