Left superior parietal lobe mediates the link between spontaneous mind-wandering tendency and task-switching performance
Biol Psychol. 2023 Nov 28:108726. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108726. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile increasing studies have documented the link between mind wandering and task switching, less is known about which brain regions mediate this relationship. Using the MPI-Leipzig Mind-Brain-Body dataset (N = 173), we investigated the association between trait-level tendencies of mind wandering, task-switching performance, structural connectivity, and resting-state functional connectivity. At the behavioral level, we found that higher spontaneous mind-wandering trait scores were associated with shorter reaction times on ...

Electrophysiological Effects of Smartphone Notifications on Cognitive Control following a Brief Mindfulness Induction

Multiple studies have demonstrated the distracting effects of smartphone notifications on behavioral measures of cognition. Fewer studies have examined the effects of notifications on neural activity underlying higher-level cognitive processes or behavioral inductions to reduce smartphone-related distraction.

Patterns of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia and Trajectories of Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescence
Biol Psychol. 2023 Nov 17:108723. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108723. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn children and adults, individual differences in patterns of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA; i.e., interactions between resting RSA and RSA reactivity to stress) have emerged as a central predictor of internalizing symptoms. However, it is unclear whether individual differences in patterns of RSA also contribute to internalizing symptoms during the key developmental period of early adolescence, when rates of internalizing symptoms sharply increase. In the present multi-wave longitudinal study, we assessed whether patte...

Neural activation and connectivity in offspring of depressed mothers during monetary and social reward tasks
This study examined brain function in older children (aged 9-14 years) through both regional activation and functional connectivity during monetary (n = 103) and social reward (n = 115) tasks. Overall, our study failed to find significant differences between offspring of mothers with and without depression on monetary (65 offspring of mothers without and 38 offspring of mother with depression) and social reward (73 offspring of mothers without and 42 offspring of mother with depression) tasks on task activation and functional connectivity. We discuss possibilities for developmental timing of finding differences between off...
