This study examines the relationship between neural activation during reappraisal tasks and individual differences in emotion regulation, finding no shared overlap across three measures and highlighting methodological challenges in fMRI research.

The paper investigates brain regions involved in autonomic activity during emotion regulation and rest, finding distinct afferent and efferent systems and age-related differences in their coordination.

This study examines age-related differences in how cardiac and respiratory fluctuations influence the BOLD signal and shows that HRV-BF training can modulate physiological-BOLD coupling in an age-dependent manner.

This study examines the relationship between MRI-measured locus coeruleus structure and physiological stress responses in younger and older adults, finding stronger associations in older adults.

The paper tests the affective dial hypothesis by comparing brain regions activated during emotion up- and down-regulation, finding they target distinct circuits rather than opposing effects in the same areas.
