rTMS at the frontopolar cortex reduces skin conductance but not heart rate: Reduced gray matter excitability in orbitofrontal regions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Lowered electrodermal, but not cardiovascular activity and reduced prefrontal gray matter have been observed in patients with antisocial personality disorder. The present repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation study provides evidence for the specific involvement of the orbitofrontal regions in this pattern of autonomic functioning. rTMS at the Frontopolar Cortex | 73

Emotional appraisal is influenced by cardiac afferent information.
Influential models highlight the central integration of bodily arousal with emotion. Some emotions, notably disgust, are more closely coupled to visceral state than others. Cardiac baroreceptors, activated at systole within each cardiac cycle, provide short-term visceral feedback. Here we explored how phasic baroreceptor activation may alter the appraisal of brief emotional stimuli and conseque...

متن کاملThe Effect of rTMS with Rehabilitation on Hand Function and Corticomotor Excitability in Sub-Acute Stroke
Objectives: Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Hand motor impairment resulting from chronic stroke may have extensive physical, psychological, financial, and social implications despite available rehabilitative treatments. The best time to start treatment for stroke, is in sub-acute period. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a method of stimulating and ...
متن کاملReduced prefrontal gray matter volume and reduced autonomic activity in antisocial personality disorder.
BACKGROUND Major damage to gray and white matter in the prefrontal cortex and autonomic deficits have been found to result in pseudopsychopathic personality in patients with neurological disorders, but it is not known whether people with antisocial personality disorder (APD) in the community who do not have discernable brain trauma also have subtle prefrontal deficits. METHODS Prefrontal gray...
متن کاملReduced cortical thickness in first episode schizophrenia.
OBJECTIVE Previous morphometric studies are suggesting altered cortical thickness mainly in prefronto-temporal regions in first episode schizophrenia. In an extension of these earlier studies, we used an entire cortex vertex-wise approach and an automated clustering for the detection and exact quantification of cortical thickness alterations in first episode schizophrenia. METHODS A group of ...
