TL;DR: The food-pics image database, a picture database comprising 568 food images and 315 non-food images along with detailed meta-data, is developed with the hope that the set will facilitate standardization and comparability across studies and advance experimental research on the determinants of eating behavior.

TL;DR: There was some evidence that a subgroup of PTSD patients had difficulties in learning the CS-US contingency, thereby providing preliminary evidence of reduced discrimination learning and point to a deficit in extinction learning.

TL;DR: A broad conceptual framework is provided that systematically evaluates the rules that govern the ways individuals choose between different emotion regulation strategies, and buttressed by empirical findings from 6 studies that show the effects of hypothesized emotional, cognitive, and motivational determinants of regulation choice.

TL;DR: Electrocortical responses to neutral and emotional images during two phases suggest that distraction and reappraisal intervene at separate stages during emotion generation, a feature which may have distinct consequences that extend beyond the regulatory episode.

TL;DR: Several psychophysiological measures exhibited group-comparison effect sizes in the order of 1.0, supporting their potential for enhancing differential diagnosis and possibly suggesting utility as endophenotypes in genetic studies of anxiety disorders.
