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)

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)

Biases in affective attention tasks in posttraumatic stress disorder patients: a systematic review of neuroimaging studies
CONCLUSION: Stroop-based tasks seem to be better at identifying differences in behavioral performance of PTSD individuals. PTSD individuals seems to present an altered brain activation pattern in affective attention tasks when compared to controls, where PTSD individuals seem to present enhanced amygdala activation and rely more on dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and posterior insula activation during tasks. The PROSPERO ID for this study is CRD42022355471.PMID:37597766 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108660 (Source: Biological Psychology)

Associations between childhood irritability and neural reactivity to maternal feedback in adolescence
We examined longitudinal relationships between irritability in childhood and young adolescents' neural activity of regions typically associated with emotion regulation and reward processing during processing of maternal feedback and tested whether these associations were moderated by youth's perceptions of the parent-child relationship quality. Eighty-one adolescents (Mage = 11.1 years) listened to maternal critical and praising feedback while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging. Age 3 irritability, assessed observationally, was negatively associated with age 11 neural reactivity to maternal criticism in a clu...

Freedom of choice boosts midfrontal theta power during affective feedback processing of goal-directed actions
Biol Psychol. 2023 Aug 11;183:108659. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108659. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSense of agency, the feeling of being in control of one's actions and their effects, is particularly relevant during goal-directed actions. During feedback learning, action effects provide information about the best course of action to reinforce positive and prevent negative outcomes. However, it is unclear whether agency experience selectively affects the processing of negative or positive feedback during the performance of goal-directed actions. As an important marker of feedback processing, we examined agency-relate...

Resilience is associated with cortical gray matter of the antinociceptive pathway in people with chronic pain
Biol Psychol. 2023 Aug 10:108658. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108658. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResilience is an important personal characteristic that influences health and recovery. Previous studies of chronic pain suggest that highly resilient people may be more effective at modulating their pain. Since brain gray matter in the antinociceptive pathway has also been shown to be abnormal in people with chronic pain, we examined whether resilience is related to gray matter in regions of interest (ROIs) of the antinociceptive pathway (rostral and subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (rACC, sgACC), anterior insula (aINS...
