Shared and Anxiety-Specific Pediatric Psychopathology Dimensions Manifest Distributed Neural Correlates

Neural correlates of emotion regulation in psychopathology.

What can psychopathology and its treatment tell us about cognitive emotional interactions? Standard approaches to interactions between emotion and cognition often adopt a variant of the idea that cognitive processes, subserved by dorsal and lateral cortical circuits, exert control and regulation of ventral, limbic brain areas associated with emotional expression and experience. However, it is b...

Neural correlates of impaired emotion processing in manifest Huntington's disease.

The complex phenotype of Huntington's disease (HD) encompasses motor, psychiatric and cognitive dysfunctions, including early impairments in emotion recognition. In this first functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we investigated emotion-processing deficits in 14 manifest HD patients and matched controls. An emotion recognition task comprised short video clips displaying one of six basic...

Neural correlates of pediatric obesity.

OBJECTIVE Childhood obesity rates have increased over the last 40 years and have a detrimental impact on public health. While the causes of the obesity epidemic are complex, obesity ultimately arises from chronic imbalances between energy intake and expenditure. An emerging area of research in obesity has focused on the role of the brain in evaluating the rewarding properties of food and making...

Neural correlates of anxiety associated with obsessive-compulsive symptom dimensions in normal volunteers.

BACKGROUND The neural correlates of anxiety associated with obsessive-compulsive symptomlike provocation in normal volunteers are unknown. METHODS Ten healthy volunteers participated in four functional magnetic resonance experiments. Subjects were scanned while viewing alternating blocks of emotional (normally aversive, washing-relevant, checking-relevant, or hoarding-relevant pictures) and n...
