Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of recent neuroimaging studies on the relationship between heart rate variability and regional cerebral blood flow identified a number of regions, including the amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex, in which significant associations across studies were found.

2,174 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Support-Vector-Machine has been successfully applied in the context of disease diagnosis, transition prediction and treatment prognosis, using both structural and functional neuroimaging data, and those studies that applied it to the investigation of Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, presymptomatic Huntington's disease and autistic spectrum disorder are reviewed.

872 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A core network of human brain regions that possess mirror properties associated with action observation and execution are suggested, with additional areas recruited during tasks that engage non-motor functions, such as auditory, somatosensory and affective components.

734 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that depression may be the consequence of a complex interplay between CMI activation and inflammation and their sequels/concomitants which all together cause neuroprogression that further shapes the depression phenotype.

707 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results from the studies that were included in the review support the assumption that stress affects decision making and emphasize the role of mediating and moderating variables.

623 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is argued here that rapid catecholamine and non-genomic glucocorticoid actions interact in the basolateral amygdala to shift the organism into a 'memory formation mode' that facilitates the consolidation of stressful experiences into long-term memory.

610 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Evidence shows that delta oscillations are associated with evolutionary old basic processes, which in waking adults are overshadowed by more advanced processes associated with higher frequency oscillations.

540 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The autism model succeeds in matching the lower frontal-posterior functional connectivity seen in fMRI data, as well as providing insight into behavioral response time results.

473 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Evidence of pervasive impairments across modalities with significant deficits evident for several emotions in both adults and children/adolescents is found, consistent with recent theorizing that the amygdala, which is believed to be dysfunctional in psychopathy, has a broad role in emotion processing.

457 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Findings support hyperactive amygdala and hypoactive medial prefrontal regions, but suggest hyperactive hippocampi, and characterization of additional regions under a triple network model showed functional alterations that largely overlapped with the salience network, central executive network, and default network.

453 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review examines the neural significance and functional significance of the feedback-related negativity (FRN), a frontocentral negativity that appears after negative feedback and explores variables that influence its appearance and amplitude.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Evidence supporting conjecture that the NCC proper can be confounded with prerequisites for and consequences of conscious processing of the particular content is reviewed and experimental strategies to untangle it are suggested in order to further develop the otherwise valid and valuable contrastive methodology.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: There is no strong evidence for a qualitative difference in how facial identity is processed between those with and without autism, but markers of typical face identity recognition, such as the face inversion effect, seem to be present in people with autism.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Findings show substantial evidence for atypical processing of auditory information in ASD at behavioural and neural levels and the interpretation of these findings with respect to various cognitive accounts of ASD is discussed and suggestions offered for further research.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-review synthesises the available information from systematic reviews of structural alteration in both chronic and first-episode schizophrenia using magnetic resonance imaging studies in schizophrenia challenges their meaningful interpretation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is proposed that a network of multisensory and homeostatic brain areas may be responsible for maintaining a 'body-matrix', a dynamic neural representation that not only extends beyond the body surface to integrate both somatotopic and peripersonal sensory data, but also integrates body-centred spatial sensory data.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Only a subset of prefrontal areas are likely to directly influence amygdalar processing, and as such models of prefrontal control of emotions and models of emotional regulation should be constrained to plausible pathways of influence.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The extant literature on the neurobiology of fear and extinction memory formation is reviewed, with a strong focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these processes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Empirical findings measuring different forms of connectivity demonstrate complex patterns of abnormal connectivity in people with ASD, and the frequently suggested pattern of long-range under-Connectivity and local over-connectivity is in need of refinement.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The chronic mild stress paradigm evokes an array of neurobiological changes that mirror those seen in depressive disorders and may be a suitable tool to investigate novel systems that could be disturbed in depression, and thus aid in the development of novel targets for the treatment of depression.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Evidence from genetics, molecular neurobiology, systems neuroscience, and systems neuroscience relating to the role of GABA in autism spectrum disorders is reviewed, discussing how deficits may relate to the specific symptoms observed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: While more research is needed, DTI proves to be a promising technique, providing new prospects and challenges for future research into the pathophysiology of ADHD, and guidelines for future DTI research are provided.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A systematic review and ALE meta-analysis of fMRI studies of ASD found a disturbance to the function of social brain regions is among the most well replicated finding.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fatiguing general muscular exercise (involving the whole body) and fatiguing local muscular exercise on postural control were investigated and different compensatory postural strategies were triggered to counteract or limit the disturbance of postural controller due to the general and local muscle fatigue.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A quantitative activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis on all reported studies that used a voxel-based approach reveals a cluster located close to the left temporoparietal region that demonstrates that this region hosts both the left arcuate fasciculus and the left corona radiata.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Four distinct groupings of hippocampal efferents may retain different roles in memory which when combined explain the importance of the medial temporal lobe for the formation of declarative memories.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Meta-regression analyses indicated that grey matter volume in the anterior cingulate and left insular clusters was influenced by exposure to antipsychotics: patients receiving medication were more likely to show structural abnormalities in these regions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A model of medial temporal lobe organization in which parallel "what" and "where" processing streams converge within the hippocampus to represent events in the spatio-temporal context in which they occurred is described.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A neurophenomenological model is presented to understand how these multiple regional brain responses could account for the varied facets of the subjective experience of sexual arousal.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The empirical findings supporting the possibility that humans represent the subjective time flow on a spatially oriented "mental time line" that is accessed through spatial attention mechanisms are presented.
