Context matters: Neural processing of food-flavored e-cigarettes and the influence of smoking
Biol Psychol. 2024 Jan 20;186:108754. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108754. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTE-cigarettes are harmful, addictive, and popular. In e-cigarettes, nicotine is often paired with food-flavors. How this pairing of nicotine and food cues influences neural processing warrants investigation, as in smokers, both types of cues activate similar brain regions. Additionally, while most e-cigarettes are sweet, savory e-cigarettes are seemingly absent, although savory flavors are commonly liked in food. To understand how smoking status and type of flavor modulate reactions to food-flavored e-cigarettes, in com...

The impact of attention bias modification training on behavioral and physiological responses
Biol Psychol. 2024 Jan 18;186:108753. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108753. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAttention bias modification training aims to alter attentional deployment to symptom-relevant emotionally salient stimuli. Such training has therapeutic applications in the management of disorders including anxiety, depression, addiction and chronic pain. In emotional reactions, attentional biases interact with autonomically-mediated changes in bodily arousal putatively underpinning affective feeling states. Here we examined the impact of attention bias modification training on behavioral and autonomic reactivity. Fift...

Inhibition of the dorsolateral cortex reveals specific mechanisms behind emotional control
Biol Psychol. 2024 Jan 7;186:108743. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108743. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReappraisal is a complex emotional control strategy based on cognitive change. To complete the reappraisal task, one is required to deeply elaborate on the affective stimulus to create its new interpretation. The involvement of the prefrontal cortex in this process was examined in the study, where inhibition of the left or right dorsolateral area was carried out using transcranial magnetic stimulation. In a between-subject design, we used an alternative control condition for the reappraisal task. It was intended to bett...

Subsyndromal depression leads to early under-activation and late over-activation during inhibitory control: an ERP study
Biol Psychol. 2024 Jan 6;186:108742. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108742. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndividuals with depressive disorders have deficits in inhibitory control and exhibit symptoms of impaired cognitive and emotional functioning. Individuals with subsyndromal depression are intermediate between the healthy group and clinically diagnosed patients with depressive disorders, and studying the characteristics of their inhibitory control functioning can help to investigate the mechanisms underlying the development of depressive disorders. Using two classical paradigms of inhibitory control, Flanker and Go/NoGo...

Active inference as a theory of sentient behavior
Biol Psychol. 2024 Jan 3:108741. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108741. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis review paper offers an overview of the history and future of active inference-a unifying perspective on action and perception. Active inference is based upon the idea that sentient behavior depends upon our brains' implicit use of internal models to predict, infer, and direct action. Our focus is upon the conceptual roots and development of this theory of (basic) sentience and does not follow a rigid chronological narrative. We trace the evolution from Helmholtzian ideas on unconscious inference, through to a contempor...
