Novel MRI-based approach can help optimize patient-clinician interactions

The potential impact of the patient-clinician relationship on a patient's response to treatment is widely accepted. But until now, little was known about which parts of the brain may play a role in that interaction and which specific behaviors can influence the clinical response, which is critically important to optimizing patient-clinician interactions for clinical benefit.
