A brief real-time fNIRS-informed neurofeedback training of the prefrontal cortex changes brain activity and connectivity during subsequent working memory challenge

This study shows that a single session of fNIRS-informed neurofeedback training increases left DLPFC activity and alters connectivity during a working memory task without feedback.

The right inferior frontal gyrus as pivotal node and effective regulator of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical response inhibition circuit

The paper identifies the right inferior frontal gyrus as a key node and regulator in the basal ganglia-thalamocortical response inhibition circuit using fMRI and causal modeling.

Opposing associations of Internet Use Disorder symptom domains with structural and functional organization of the striatum: a dimensional neuroimaging approach

The paper examines associations between Internet Use Disorder symptom domains and brain structure/function in a dimensional neuroimaging study, finding opposing effects on striatal networks and volumes.

Oxytocinergic modulation of stress-associated amygdala-hippocampus pathways in humans is mediated by serotonergic mechanisms

This study shows that oxytocin's effect on stress-related brain pathways in humans is reduced when serotonin signaling is decreased, suggesting a mediating role for serotonin.

The mirror neuron system compensates for amygdala dysfunction-associated social deficits in individuals with higher autistic traits

This study shows that individuals with higher autistic traits have reduced amygdala responses to imitation but increased mirror neuron system activity and connectivity, which may compensate for social deficits.

Segregating domain-general from emotional context-specific inhibitory control systems - ventral striatum and orbitofrontal cortex serve as emotion-cognition integration hubs

The paper identifies brain systems mediating domain-general and emotion-specific inhibitory control using fMRI in a large cohort, showing distinct roles for ventral striatum and orbitofrontal cortex.

Oxytocinergic modulation of threat-specific amygdala sensitization in humans is critically mediated by serotonergic mechanisms

This study investigates how oxytocin modulates threat-specific amygdala reactivity in humans and finds that serotonergic mechanisms are critical for this effect.

Sharing happy stories increases interpersonal closeness mediated by enhancing interpersonal brain synchronization

Sharing happy stories increases interpersonal closeness by enhancing brain synchronization in specific brain regions, as shown through EEG and behavioral assessments.

Serotonin and childhood maltreatment interact to shape brain architecture and anxious avoidant behavior, a TPH2 imaging genetics approach

The paper investigates how serotonin and childhood maltreatment interact to affect brain structure and anxious avoidant behavior using a TPH2 imaging genetics approach in humans.

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) informed neurofeedback: regional-specific modulation of lateral orbitofrontal activation and cognitive flexibility

This study demonstrates that fNIRS-informed neurofeedback can increase lateral orbitofrontal cortex activation and is associated with improved cognitive flexibility and reward experience.

Common and dissociable contributions of alexithymia and autism to domain-specific interoceptive dysregulations - a dimensional neuroimaging approach

This study investigates how alexithymia and autism traits independently and interactively influence interoceptive dysregulations in pain empathy using a dimensional neuroimaging approach in healthy subjects.
