Graphic Abstract: Functional Neuroimaging in IBS

In a study Nisticò et al. reviewed literature on functional neuroimaging in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to find out whether there are similarities between those seen in IBS and other functional disorders, especially functional movement disorders (FMD).
