TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the in vivo kinetics of 18F-fallypride and 11C-FLB457 was made using a MI protocol, which was designed to estimate K1, k2, fNDkon, Bmax, and koff in the midbrain and cortical regions of the rhesus monkey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive Processes Are Central in Compassion Meditation
TL;DR: In responding to the recent paper in TiCS, Engen and Singer raise important issues related to the constructive family of meditation practice, arguing against the central role of reappraisal and perspective taking and proposing instead that motivational and affective states are the main mechanisms in compassion-based meditations.

TL;DR: Both radioligands can be used to image extrastriatal D2/D3 receptors, with 11C-FLB457 providing greater sensitivity to subtle changes in low-receptor-density cortical regions and 18F-fallypride being more sensitive to endogenous dopamine displacement in medium-to-high-recept-density regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and the Prevention of Depressive Relapse: Measures, Mechanisms, and Mediators
TL;DR: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was most effective for patients with greater depressive severity before treatment, and produced a reduced risk of depressive relapse within a 60-week follow-up period compared with other active treatments.

Mind-body interactions in the regulation of airway inflammation in asthma: A PET study of acute and chronic stress.

TL;DR: Asthmatics under chronic stress had a larger HPA-axis response to an acute stressor, which failed to show the suppressive effects on inflammatory markers observed in those with low chronic stress, and PET data suggest that greater activity in the anterior insula during acute stress may reflect regulation of the effect of stress on inflammation.
