This study uses fMRI and dynamic causal modelling to show the habenula modulates midbrain and cortical pathways with both inhibitory and excitatory effects during negative reward prediction error tasks.

The paper investigates altered basal forebrain connectivity in depressive and anxiety disorders using resting-state fMRI and finds increased inhibitory connectivity from nucleus basalis of Meynert to the default mode network in clinical participants.

This study shows that high-precision neurofeedback-guided meditation training improves disengagement from mental activity and enhances emotional well-being in novice meditators.

This pilot study uses 7 Tesla fMRI to show that focused attention meditation reduces Default-mode network activity and increases mindfulness scores.

This study uses fMRI to compare brain activity during safety learning via conditioned inhibition and standard safety signals, finding distinct cortico-striatal circuits for each.

This study identifies a thalamo-centric neural signature in the mediodorsal thalamus involved in cognitive restructuring of negative self-beliefs using fMRI and Dynamic Causal Modelling.

This study investigates the role of subcortical structures in modulating the default mode network in humans using fMRI.
