This study uses fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis to show that wanting-related brain patterns persist longer in individuals with nicotine use disorder, supporting the Incentive-Sensitization Theory.

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.

This study characterizes the brain renin angiotensin II system's architecture and function using imaging transcriptomics and fMRI, showing AT1R's role in cognition and behavior through specific circuits and interactions with neurotransmitter systems.

This study shows that losartan improves reward learning by enhancing ventral striatal prediction errors and frontostriatal communication in healthy humans.

This study uses a precision pharmacological fMRI approach to show that losartan reduces neural reactivity to fear-inducing stimuli by targeting AT1R, without affecting threat or novelty responses.

This study shows that losartan reduces memory advantage for negative emotional material by decreasing hippocampus activity and its coupling with the amygdala.

This study investigates the anxiolytic effects of chronic intranasal oxytocin, finding that low-frequency dosing reduces neural threat reactivity in high-anxiety individuals.

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.

This study investigates the effects of different oxytocin dosing schedules and receptor genotypes on neural biomarkers in humans, finding that infrequent dosing may be more effective and that responses are genotype-dependent.

This study shows oxytocin increases self-interest over altruism in competitive social interactions by enhancing activation in the medial orbitofrontal cortex.

This study finds that cannabis-dependent males show impaired cognitive performance under psycho-social stress, linked to reduced precuneus activity and altered connectivity with the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex.
