Over the last few years, brain research in volunteers that are considered healthy has increasingly used neuroimaging methods. The actual imaging techniques are tailored to the scientific issue under investigation but such imaging sessions often include high-resolution structural brain imaging. Accordingly, these brain scans are not ideal but nonetheless sensitive for detecting the presence of b...

A recent study carried out at the University of California, Irvine exemplifies a commonly overlooked ethical conundrum of neuroimaging research: incidental findings. Research study designs must address the potential of uncovering unexpected findings in subjects during the study and delineate a protocol for reporting and initiating treatment. We urge the community to petition their home institut...

The approach to incidental research findings in children emerges by considering the child-parent relationship and balancing divergent interests and preferences. Incidental findings with clear and proximate clinical importance should be disclosed to both. We recommend that particularly sensitive or private information (e.g., pregnancy or drug use) should be disclosed to the adolescent first, whi...
