Journal ArticleDOI
Cortisol variation in humans affects memory for emotionally laden and neutral information.
Heather C. Abercrombie,Ned H. Kalin,Marchell E. Thurow,Melissa A. Rosenkranz,Richard J. Davidson +4 more
TL;DR: The study provides evidence of beneficial effects of acute cortisol elevations on explicit memory in humans and suggests that the effects of cortisol on memory do not differ substantially for emotional and neutral information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric frontal brain activity, cortisol, and behavior associated with fearful temperament in rhesus monkeys.
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate important relations among extreme asymmetric frontal electrical activity, cortisol levels, and trait-like fear-related behaviors in young rhesus monkeys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Donal G. MacCoon,Zac E. Imel,Melissa A. Rosenkranz,Jenna G. Sheftel,Helen Y. Weng,Jude C. Sullivan,Katherine Bonus,Catherine M. Stoney,Tim V. Salomons,Richard J. Davidson,Antoine Lutz +10 more
TL;DR: Participant-reported outcomes (PROs) indicate that MBSR is no more effective than a rigorous active control in improving these indices, and emphasize the importance of using an active control condition like HEP in studies evaluating the effectiveness of MBSr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amygdala volume and nonverbal social impairment in adolescent and adult males with autism.
Brendon M. Nacewicz,Kim M. Dalton,Tom Johnstone,Micah T. Long,Emelia M. McAuliff,Terrence R. Oakes,Andrew L. Alexander,Richard J. Davidson +7 more
TL;DR: These findings best support a model of amygdala hyperactivity that could explain most volumetric findings in autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric brain function, affective style, and psychopathology: The role of early experience and plasticity
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of asymmetric contributions to the control of different subcomponents of approach-and withdrawal-related emotion and psychopathology is presented, and the issue of plasticity is then considered from several perspectives.
