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.

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.

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.

Emotional contagion of pain across different social cues shares common and process-specific neural representations

The paper identifies shared and process-specific neural representations of vicarious pain using fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis.

Inter-subject phase synchronization differentiates neural networks underlying physical pain empathy

The paper uses inter-subject phase synchronization to analyze fMRI data and identifies distinct neural networks associated with physical pain empathy, but not affective pain.

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.
