Neural Abnormalities of Reward Processing in Adolescents with Bipolar Disorders: An ERP Study
Biol Psychol. 2023 Aug 23:108667. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108667. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdolescent onset is common in bipolar disorders (BDs) and is associated with a worse illness course in adulthood. A model of BDs suggests that a dysregulated behavioral approach system (BAS), a neural system that mobilizes reward-seeking behavior, is at the root of BDs. Normative adolescence is often accompanied by dynamic changes to neural structures underlying the BAS and related cognitive processes. It is possible that adolescent-onset BDs is associated with abnormal BAS neurodevelopment. Consistently, the present study...

A Perinatal Coparenting Intervention: Effects of a Randomized Trial on Parent Cardiometabolic Risk and Self-Reported Health
CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that coparenting-focused interventions, such as Family Foundations, can lead to benefits beyond psychosocial and behavioral outcomes, and suggest that Family Foundations may improve parents' longer-term physical health, with potentially more benefits among couples who demonstrated more negative communication styles during pregnancy.PMID:37625684 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108664 (Source: Biological Psychology)

Faces capture spatial attention only when we want them to: an inattentional blindness EEG study
Biol Psychol. 2023 Aug 22:108665. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108665. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious research on emotional face processing has shown that emotional faces such as fearful faces may be processed without visual awareness. However, evidence for nonconscious attention capture by fearful faces is limited. In fact, studies using sensory manipulation of awareness (e.g., backward masking paradigms) have shown that fearful faces do not attract attention during subliminal viewings nor when they were task-irrelevant. Here, we used a three-phase inattentional blindness paradigm and electroencephalography to ex...

Heart rate reactivity mediates the relationship between trait gratitude and acute myocardial infarction
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that gratitude may be associated with certain aspects of physical health. Specifically, our study reveals a potential link between gratitude and cardiovascular reactivity, which could be a mechanism through which trait gratitude contributes to reductions in the risk of myocardial infarction. As such, this study highlights the potential utility of positive psychological factors, such as gratitude, in promoting cardiovascular health.PMID:37619812 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108663 (Source: Biological Psychology)

Increasing Familiarity With the Heartbeat Counting Task Does Not Affect Performance
CONCLUSION: Heartbeat counting task performance is stable across repetitions of the task, not changing with increasing familiarity. This suggests that non-interoceptive factors, such as beliefs, may be involved. The correlation between the heartbeat and visual counting tasks may point to a general propensity in counting uncertain stimuli across sensory domains. Together, these results raise questions about the interpretation of the heartbeat counting task as a measure of interoception.PMID:37598881 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108662 (Source: Biological Psychology)

Mental fatigue, cognitive performance and autonomic response following sustained mental activity in clinical burnout
CONCLUSION: Patients with clinical burnout are affected differently than healthy controls by sustained mental activity, as reflected by ratings of perceived mental fatigue, aspects of cognitive performance and autonomic response. Further investigation into the role of autonomic regulation in relation to cognitive symptoms in clinical burnout is warranted.PMID:37598882 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108661 (Source: Biological Psychology)
