The paper identifies two reproducible reward imaging phenotypes linked to dopamine D2 receptor function and shows differential responses to antipsychotic drugs.

This study shows that striatal reward signals are driven by what a stimulus predicts, not its emotional content or visual features, using an fMRI paradigm with food cues and emotional images.

The paper investigates whether LPP modulation during emotion regulation reflects volitional control or cognitive load, finding evidence supporting the latter.

This review examines how GLP-1 receptor agonists affect brain responses to reward-related cues using fMRI, finding limited and inconsistent evidence of reduced reactivity to food cues.

The paper provides electrophysiological normative responses for emotional images to create reliable probes for studying affective systems.
