Brain Signature Predicts Negative Emotion in Individuals

Brain Signature Predicts Negative Emotion in Individuals

Emotions are central to our daily lives and are at the root of disorders such as anxiety, depression, drug abuse, and cardiovascular disease. The importance of understanding the emotional brain has motivated hundreds of neuroimaging studies in healthy humans and patients with psychological disorders. But there has been a pressing need to identify neural signatures that predict emotional experie...

Conscientiousness predicts greater recovery from negative emotion.

Greater levels of conscientiousness have been associated with lower levels of negative affect. We focus on one mechanism through which conscientiousness may decrease negative affect: effective emotion regulation, as reflected by greater recovery from negative stimuli. In 273 adults who were 35-85 years old, we collected self-report measures of personality including conscientiousness and its sel...

Brain Development: Neural Signature Predicts Autism's Emergence

A new study has found that neural sensitivity to eye gaze in early infancy is associated with subsequent development of autism. This discovery provides a much-needed biomarker for autism spectrum disorder prior to emergence of behavioral symptoms.
