A functional anatomical shift from the lateral frontal pole to dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in emotion action control underpins elevated levels of anxiety: partial replication and generalization of Bramson et al., 2023

The paper partially replicates and generalizes Bramson et al.'s 2023 findings on functional anatomical shifts in emotion action control related to anxiety using fMRI data from a different sample and paradigm.

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.

Intranasal vasopressin like oxytocin increases social attention by influencing top-down control, but additionally enhances bottom-up control

This study investigates the effects of intranasal vasopressin on social attention and finds it increases bottom-up processing while reducing top-down control, similar to oxytocin but with greater impact on pro-saccade errors.

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.
