Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased responsiveness to reward in depression
TL;DR: In this paper, depressed subjects who met DSM-IV criteria for major depression were compared to a group of nondepressed control subjects on a verbal memory task under three monetary payoff conditions: neutral, reward, and punishment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promoting Prosocial Behavior and Self-Regulatory Skills in Preschool Children through a Mindfulness-Based Kindness Curriculum.
TL;DR: Findings support the promise of a 12-week mindfulness-based Kindness Curriculum delivered in a public school setting for promoting self-regulation and prosocial behavior in young children and support the need for future investigation of program implementation across diverse settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antoine Lutz,Heleen A. Slagter,Nancy B. Rawlings,Andrew D Francis,Lawrence L. Greischar,Richard J. Davidson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three months of intensive meditation training reduced variability in attentional processing of target tones, as indicated by both enhanced theta-band phase consistency of oscillatory neural responses over anterior brain areas and reduced reaction time variability.
Journal Article
Frontal and parietal electroencephalogram asymmetry in depressed and nondepressed subjects.
TL;DR: Data support the hypothesis of right hemisphere hyperactivation in the frontal region of depressed individuals and are consistent with the growing body of literature which suggests that the left and right frontal regions may be differentially specialized for particular positive and negative affects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early stress is associated with alterations in the orbitofrontal cortex: a tensor-based morphometry investigation of brain structure and behavioral risk.
Jamie L. Hanson,Moo K. Chung,Brian B. Avants,Elizabeth A. Shirtcliff,James C. Gee,Richard J. Davidson,Seth D. Pollak +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that alterations in the orbitofrontal cortex among individuals who experienced physical abuse are related to social difficulties, suggesting a biological mechanism linking early social learning to later behavioral outcomes.
