Love to win or hate to lose? asymmetry of dopamine d2 receptor binding predicts sensitivity to reward versus punishment
Rachel Tomer,Heleen A. Slagter,Bradley T. Christian,Andrew S. Fox,Carlye R. King,Dhanabalan Murali,Mark A. Gluck,Richard J. Davidson +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that self-reported motivational bias was predicted by the asymmetry of frontal D2 binding, and striatal and frontal asymmetries in D2 dopamine receptor binding, rather than absolute binding levels, predicted individual differences in learning from reward versus punishment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baseline Asymmetries in Brain Electrical Activity Predict Dichotic Listening Performance
Journal ArticleDOI
Subgenual prefrontal cortex activity predicts individual differences in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activity across different contexts.
Allison L. Jahn,Andrew S. Fox,Heather C. Abercrombie,Steven E. Shelton,Terrence R. Oakes,Richard J. Davidson,Ned H. Kalin +6 more
TL;DR: Results from two studies revealed that subgenual prefrontal cortex (PFC) metabolism (Brodmann's area 25/24) consistently predicted individual differences in plasma cortisol concentrations regardless of the context in which brain activity and cortisol were assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Startle potentiation in aversive anticipation: evidence for state but not trait effects.
Jack B. Nitschke,Christine L. Larson,Marian J. Smoller,Sarah D. Navin,Adrian J.C. Pederson,Dante Ruffalo,Kristen L. Mackiewicz,Shannon M. Gray,Elise Victor,Richard J. Davidson +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the aversive nature of stimuli contribute to the potentiation of startle above and beyond the effects of emotional arousal, which may be a universal phenomenon not modulated by individual differences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromyographically assessed empathic concern and empathic happiness predict increased prosocial behavior in adults.
Sharee N. Light,Zachary D. Moran,Lena Swander,Van Le,Brandi N. Cage,Cory A. Burghy,Cecilia Westbrook,Larry Greishar,Richard J. Davidson +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relation between empathy subtypes and prosocial behavior was investigated in a sample of healthy adults who watched video clips extracted from the television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
