The paper investigates diurnal and seasonal variations in brain mu-opioid and dopamine D2 receptor signaling in humans using PET data and finds MOR availability increases in the afternoon, with seasonal and trait-anxiety influences.

This study shows that seasonal photoperiod cycling reduces inter-individual variability in mu-opioid receptor density in rats compared to constant photoperiod conditions.

The paper compares inter-subject functional connectivity (ISFC) between autistic and neurotypical individuals during movie-watching using fMRI data from two datasets, finding reduced ISFC in autistic groups.

This study shows that day length affects glucose metabolism in the human brain, specifically in the cuneus, over a 5-year period in healthy males.

This study uses fMRI to show that vicarious feeding activates motor and affective brain regions and that these responses decrease with higher BMI.

The paper investigates seasonal variation in D2/3 dopamine receptor availability in the human brain using PET scans and finds a negative correlation between daylength and receptor availability in the striatum.

This study finds reduced D2R availability in psychopathic offenders compared to controls, suggesting a potential neuromolecular pathway for psychopathy.

The paper investigates the neural basis of laughter and crying using fMRI and MVPA, finding distinct brain networks for each emotion with overlapping suppression.

This study investigates how secretin induces satiation by modulating brain glucose metabolism and neural activity through the BAT-brain axis in humans.

This study investigates how mu-opioid receptor availability relates to brain responses to laughter and crying sounds in humans using PET-fMRI.

This study investigates how photoperiod affects mu-opioid receptor availability in brown adipose tissue using PET imaging and immunofluorescence in rats.

The paper examines neural responses to biological motion in neurotypical individuals, finding distinct associations with autistic and schizotypal traits through fMRI and synchronization analysis.

The paper compares neural responses to emotional stimuli in psychopathy and high-functioning autism, finding distinct patterns of somatomotor alterations.

The paper uses brain activity patterns from visual sexual stimuli to accurately classify sex in subjects.

This study maps neural responses to social features in the human brain using fMRI and identifies spatial patterns of social perception.

This study finds that higher mu-opioid receptor availability in specific brain regions is associated with increased sex drive in healthy human males.

This study finds seasonal variation in brain mu-opioid receptor availability in humans, showing an inverted U-shaped relationship with daylength.

The paper investigates the neural basis of music-evoked emotions using fMRI, finding distinct brain activity patterns for different emotions in auditory and motor regions.

This study shows that LRRK2 activity suppresses protein synthesis in Parkinson's disease, with inhibition restoring normal translation in patient fibroblasts.

This study identifies distinct neural systems for acute and sustained fear using fMRI and ISC analysis in humans watching horror movies.
