Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropeptide Y Receptor Gene Expression in the Primate Amygdala Predicts Anxious Temperament and Brain Metabolism
Patrick H. Roseboom,Steven A. Nanda,Andrew S. Fox,Jonathan A. Oler,Alexander J. Shackman,Steven E. Shelton,Richard J. Davidson,Ned H. Kalin +7 more
TL;DR: Low mRNA levels of neuropeptide Y receptor 1 and NPY5R but not NPY or NPY2R in the Ce predicted elevated AT, suggesting that enhancement of NPY signaling might reduce the risk to develop psychopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential DNA methylation in experienced meditators after an intensive day of mindfulness-based practice: Implications for immune-related pathways
Raphaëlle Chaix,Maud Fagny,Marta Cosín-Tomás,María Jesús Álvarez-López,Laure Lemée,Béatrice Regnault,Richard J. Davidson,Antoine Lutz,Perla Kaliman,Perla Kaliman +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that a short meditation intervention in trained subjects may rapidly influence the epigenome at sites of potential relevance for immune function and provide a better understanding of the dynamics of the human methylome over short time windows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobiological correlates of distinct post-traumatic stress disorder symptom profiles during threat anticipation in combat veterans.
TL;DR: Increased anticipatory responses to unpredictable threat in distinct vmPFC subregions were uniquely associated with elevated hyperarousal and re-experiencing symptoms in combat veterans, and suggest that investigating individual differences in discrete aspects of PTSD may advance the understanding of underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tai chi training reduces self-report of inattention in healthy young adults
TL;DR: It is suggested that tai chi training may help improve attention in healthy young adults and as therapy for individuals with ADHD, and further studies are needed to confirm these results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mindfulness and the contemplative life: pathways to connection, insight, and purpose.
TL;DR: It is proposed that mindfulness plays an important role as a foundation for other contemplative practices, such as those related to prosocial qualities, cognitive insight, and meaning and purpose.
