TL;DR: Results suggest that both common and distinct neural systems support various forms of reappraisal and that which particular prefrontal systems modulate the amygdala in different ways depends on the regulatory goal and strategy employed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared distraction and reappraisal and found both similarities and differences between the two forms of emotion regulation and found that both resulted in decreased negative affect, decreased activation in the amygdala, and increased activation in prefrontal and cingulate regions.

TL;DR: Psychosis- and antipsychotic-related grey matter volume changes are strongly shaped by anatomical brain connectivity, consistent with findings in other neurological disorders and implies that such connections may constrain pathological processes causing brain dysfunction in FEP.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated how individual differences in brain organization influenced group comparisons of functional coupling disturbances in a range of clinical disorders using psychosis as a case-study, drawing on fMRI data in 121 early psychosis patients and 57 controls.

TL;DR: The findings support the need for careful consideration of the risks and benefits of various antipsychotics and the importance of accounting for their cognitive effects in longitudinal research and show the effects of illness from antipsychotic drugs on cognition over the first 6-months of FEP treatment.
