Stretch-induced muscle responses under threat vs safety

This study investigates how threat influences motor preparation and stretch reflexes during reaching tasks, finding direction-selective modulation of long-latency reflexes under threat.

Improving emotion control in social anxiety by targeting rhythmic brain circuits

This study uses non-invasive brain stimulation to enhance theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in socially anxious individuals, improving control over approach-avoidance behaviors.

Defensive freezing sharpens threat-reward information processing during approach-avoidance decision making

This study shows that defensive freezing enhances threat-reward processing in the dACC during approach-avoidance decisions, improving decision-making under threat.

Improving emotional-action control by targeting long-range phase-amplitude neuronal coupling.

This paper demonstrates that targeted brain stimulation enhancing theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling improves emotional-action control in a social-emotional task.

Human lateral Frontal Pole contributes to control over social-emotional behaviour

This study identifies the lateral frontal pole as a key region for social-emotional regulation through neuroimaging and connectivity analyses in humans.
