The paper shows that reactivating positive traits during sleep enhances self-evaluation, but this effect is reduced with higher depressive symptoms.

The paper identifies convergent and selective functional zones in the insula using fMRI data, revealing a hierarchical convergence architecture across pain, appetitive, aversive, and cognitive control domains.

This study shows vasopressin enhances emotional responses to social comparisons with strangers, altering neural representations and triggering self-protective mechanisms.

The paper shows that combining wakeful training with sleep-based memory reactivation enhances positive self-referential processing.

This study shows that oxytocin's effect on stress-related brain pathways in humans is reduced when serotonin signaling is decreased, suggesting a mediating role for serotonin.

This study investigates how oxytocin modulates threat-specific amygdala reactivity in humans and finds that serotonergic mechanisms are critical for this effect.

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.

The paper quantifies the subjective value individuals assign to social and non-social evaluations and shows oxytocin modulates the value of social evaluations based on valence.

This study shows oxytocin increases within-group synchronization of attacks during intergroup conflict but does not reduce aggression, instead enabling more strategic and profitable attacks.

This study shows that cannabis dependence in men reduces reward experience during female social interaction compared to male interaction, with neural changes linked to cannabis exposure.
