If you have an overreaction to 'triggering' sounds such as other people chewing or drumming their fingers, you probably have misophonia. Last year, scientists finally discovered a key brain connection responsible for setting it off.
If you have an overreaction to 'triggering' sounds such as other people chewing or drumming their fingers, you probably haveThe connection runs from the auditory cortex to the orofacial motor cortex . This makes sense, as most misophonia-triggering sounds are caused by actions involving the human face – such as chewing or breathing.
As a result of the findings, the researchers have a suggestion: People with misophonia are actually experiencing a stimulation of the same part of the motor cortex that is causing the triggering sound from someone else. "Our findings indicate that for people with misophonia there is abnormal communication between the auditory and motor brain regions,""You could describe it as a 'super-sensitized connection'. This is the first time such a connection in the brain has been identified for the condition."brain scans from a total of 75 people with and without misophonia to discover this super-sensitized connection.
"What surprised us was that we also found a similar pattern of communication between the visual and motor regions, which reflects that misophonia can also occur when triggered by something visual,""This leads us to believe that this communication activates something called the 'mirror system', which helps us process movements made by other individuals by activating our own brain in a similar way – as if we were making that movement ourselves.
