Individualized Theta Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Modulates Mnemonic Discrimination and ERP Responses to Positive Information in Individuals With Elevated Depressive Symptoms
Individuals with elevated depressive symptoms often show impairments in positive memory processing. This randomized, double-blind study investigated whether individualized theta-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation (tAC...

Impaired Neural Pattern Separation During Implicit Emotion Regulation in PTSD: An MVPA fMRI Study
Implicit emotion regulation (IER) operates automatically and supports adaptive social–affective functioning. Although PTSD involves marked IER disturbances, the large-scale functional connectivity architecture supporting implicit emotion...

The gentle grip of beauty: Neural bases of motor inhibition during aesthetic appreciation
A century-old tradition characterizes aesthetic experiences as intense contemplative moments in which we suspend practical concerns and devote our full attention to the object at hand. In line with this tradition, recent theories suggest...

Positive interactions and active mentalizing facilitate inter-brain synchronization in couples
High-quality interactions rely on socio-cognitive abilities, which help partners understand and respond to one another. Hyperscanning, which measures brain activity in multiple individuals simultaneously, can examine inter-brain synchron...

Warm pressure increases ventral striatum and mid-insula processing of social connection
Social touch is an underappreciated regulatory behavior that contributes to social connection. Apart from previous research on gentle stroking, scant research has systematically addressed the influence of sensory inputs on social connect...

Is damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex associated with impaired empathy? A neuropsychological study using an empathy motivation task
Patients with damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) classically develop personality disturbances, emotion dysregulation, and social decision-making deficits that have been likened to psychopathic tendencies (“pseudopsychop...

Social Mind at Rest: Resting-State Connectivity Associated with Social Thought Relates to Friendship Quality
Although mind wandering is often associated with adverse outcomes, certain thought content may support adaptive functions. This study investigated how latent dimensions of resting-state thought relate to adaptive functioning, mental, emo...

Pupil dilation reflects prediction errors in learning about others’ personality traits
Learning about others’ personality traits is crucial for building personal relationships. This learning process can be conceptualized as reductions in prediction errors (PEs), defined as discrepancies between expectations about others an...

Review of methods to derive the heartbeat-evoked potential: past practices and future directions
The heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) is an implicit, electrophysiological marker of cortical heartbeat processing and interoception, with increasing clinical relevance. However, on the scalp, HEP are low-amplitude signals mixed with card...

Inhibition-related connectivity predicts irritability risk and resilience across early adolescence.
Elevated irritability may in part arise from altered top-down networks, such as those implicated in inhibitory control, that may help modulate temper outbursts. Studies have linked higher youth irritability with aberrant neural patterns ...
