Increased Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Decreased Zygomaticus Activation in Response to Disliked Smiles Suggest Top-Down Inhibition of Facial Mimicry.
TL;DR: The neural basis for the inhibition of facial mimicry was investigated in a combined functional magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography study in 39 healthy participants, and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was activated when previous conditioning was incongruent with the valence of the expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spirituality and Medicine: Science and Practice
TL;DR: The role of spiritual care at the end of life, a topic of critical importance for compassionate and humane treatment at this very sensitive period for the patient and his or her fam- ily, is explored.

TL;DR: A new subcortical structure shape modeling framework using heat kernel smoothing constructed with the Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions is applied in investigating the influence of age and gender on amygdala and hippocampus shape.

A common neural substrate for elevated PTSD symptoms and reduced pulse rate variability in combat‐exposed veterans
Daniel W. Grupe,Ted Imhoff-Smith,Joseph Wielgosz,Joseph Wielgosz,Joseph Wielgosz,Jack B. Nitschke,Richard J. Davidson +6 more
TL;DR: FMRI data from 51 male combat-exposed veterans with either high or low levels of PTSD symptoms found that PTSD re-experiencing symptoms were inversely associated with high-frequency (HF)-PRV, thought to primarily reflect parasympathetic control of heart rate, in veterans with elevated PTSD symptoms.
