AB  - SUMMARY: 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 institutional review board to mandate inclusion of an incidental findings protocol into all neuroimaging research applications.
