Does Unfairness Evoke Anger or Disgust? A Quantitative Neurofunctional Dissection Based on 25 Years of Neuroimaging

The paper uses neuroimaging data to dissect the neural differences between unfairness and moral emotions like anger and disgust, identifying distinct brain networks involved in each.

Oxytocin, but not vasopressin, decreases willingness to harm others by promoting moral emotions of guilt and shame

This study shows oxytocin, but not vasopressin, reduces willingness to harm others by increasing guilt and shame for intentional harm.

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.

Rotten to the core - a neurofunctional signature of subjective core disgust generalizes to oral distaste and socio-moral contexts

The paper develops a neurofunctional signature of disgust using fMRI and machine learning, showing it generalizes across core disgust, gustatory distaste, and socio-moral contexts.

Age-dependent changes in the dynamic functional organization of the brain at rest - a cross - cultural replication approach

This study investigates age-related changes in dynamic functional connectivity across two cultures, finding consistent patterns of reduced segregated connectivity and increased network transitions in older adults.

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.

Oxytocin differentially modulates amygdala responses during top-down and bottom-up aversive anticipation

This study investigates how oxytocin modulates amygdala responses during top-down and bottom-up aversive anticipation in individuals with varying trait anxiety levels.
