Aging minds and twisting attitudes: An fMRI investigation of age differences in inhibiting prejudice.
- Psychology and Aging,
, 2009
"... Cognitive capacity is believed to decline with age, but it is not known whether this decline extends to tasks involving social cognition. In the current study, social neuroscience methodologies were used to examine the effects of age-related cognitive decline on older adults' abilities to enga ..."

they underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging. All participants were also given a battery of tests to assess their executive function capacity. Young adults showed more activity in areas associated with empathy (i.e., medial prefrontal cortex) than did older adults when viewing stigmatized faces
The neurological underpinnings of cluttering: Some initial findings
"... a b s t r a c t Background: Cluttering is a fluency disorder characterised by overly rapid or jerky speech patterns that compromise intelligibility. The neural correlates of cluttering are unknown but theoretical accounts implicate the basal ganglia and medial prefrontal cortex. Dysfunction in thes ..."

the neural correlates of cluttering. Method: We scanned 17 adults who clutter and 17 normally fluent control speakers matched for age and sex. Brain activity was recorded using sparse-sampling functional MRI while participants viewed scenes and either (i) produced overt speech describing the scene or (ii
Episodic memory and episodic future thinking impairments in high-functioning autism spectrum disorder: An underlying difficulty with scene construction or self-projection? Neuropsychology. Advance online publication. doi:10.1037/neu0000005
- PNAS Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 108, 421–426. doi:10.1073/pnas .1014076108
, 2013
"... Objective: There appears to be a common network of brain regions that underlie the ability to recall past personal experiences (episodic memory) and the ability to imagine possible future personal experiences (episodic future thinking). At the cognitive level, these abilities are thought to rely on ..."

that episodic memory and episodic future thinking involve "at least two components with dissociable neural bases: a network centered on the hippocampus responsible for scene construction, with the amPFC [anterior medial prefrontal cortex], PCC [posterior cingulate cortex] and precuneus mediating
Novel Therapeutic Approaches to the Treatment of Chronic Abdominal Visceral Pain
"... Chronic abdominal visceral pain (CAVP) has a significant clinical impact and represents one of the most frequent and debilitating disorders in the general population. It also leads to a significant economic burden due to workdays lost, reduced productivity, and long-term use of medications with the ..."

"... Soci al cognition refers to the processes that subserve behavior in response to conspecifics (other individuals of the same species), and, in particular, to those higher cognitive processes subserving the extremely diverse and flexible social behaviors that are seen in primates. Its evolution arose ..."

-of-mind tasks between normal and high-functioning autistic subjects found evidence that sectors of left medial prefrontal cortex were also important to reason about other people's mental states (Ref. j), a finding consistent with earlier studies that showed that processing words for mental states
Presidential Address Neural Substrates of Implicit and Explicit Emotional Processes: A Unifying Framework for Psychosomatic Medicine
"... There are two broad themes in psychosomatic medicine research that relate emotions to physical disease outcomes. Theme 1 holds that self-reported negative affect has deleterious effects and self-reported positive affect has salubrious effects on health. Theme 2 holds that interference with the expe ..."

Papez proposed that emotion could be induced either through stimulus perception or thought by engaging a reverberating circuit that included the mamillary bodies of the hypothalamus, the anterior thalamic nucleus, the anterior

"... Summary In recent years, the study of decision making has provided a paradigmatic case of "crossbreeding" of different disciplines. The integration of economics, psychology and neurosciences within neuroeconomics calls for more accurate and comprehensive models of human rationality, which ..."
