Lateralization of self-control over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in decision-making: a systematic review and meta-analytic evidence from noninvasive brain stimulation
This study was designed to investigate the role of DLPFC in decision-making behaviors and lateralization of its control function by systematically examining the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) over the DLPFC on intertemporal choice, risk decision-making, and social fairness-related decision-making tasks. Literature searches were implemented at PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Wanfang Data, China Science and Technology Journal Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure until May 10, 2022. Meta-analytic results for included studies were estimated by random-effect models. A total of 33 elig...

Preexposure to one social threat alters responses to another social threat: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci. 2024 Feb;24(1):126-142. doi: 10.3758/s13415-023-01151-y. Epub 2024 Jan 10.ABSTRACTA recent Cyberball study has indicated that the experience of loss of control can affect how people process subsequent social exclusion. This "preexposure effect" supports the idea of a common cognitive system involved in the processing of different types of social threats. To test the validity of this assumption in the current study, we reversed the sequence of the preexposure setup. We measured the effects of social exclusion on the subsequent processing of loss of control utilizing event-related brain potentials...

Improving preclinical to clinical translation of cognitive function for aging-related disorders: the utility of comprehensive touchscreen testing batteries in common marmosets
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci. 2024 Jan 10. doi: 10.3758/s13415-023-01144-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConcerns about poor animal to human translation have come increasingly to the fore, in particular with regards to cognitive improvements in rodent models, which have failed to translate to meaningful clinical benefit in humans. This problem has been widely acknowledged, most recently in the field of Alzheimer's disease, although this issue pervades the spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative diseases. Consequently, recent efforts have focus...

Brain connectivity patterns associated with individual differences in the access to experience-near personal semantics: a resting-state fMRI study
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci. 2024 Feb;24(1):87-99. doi: 10.3758/s13415-023-01149-6. Epub 2024 Jan 10.ABSTRACTIt has been proposed that a continuum of specificity exists between episodic and semantic autobiographical memory. Personal semantics have been theorized to situate intermediately on this continuum, with more "experience-near" personal semantics (enPS) closer to the episodic end. We used individual differences in behavior as a model to investigate brain networks associated with the access to episodic autobiographical (EAM) and enPS information, assessing the relation between performance in the EAM and enPS conditions...

Affective valence does not reflect progress prediction errors in perceptual decisions
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci. 2024 Feb;24(1):60-71. doi: 10.3758/s13415-023-01147-8. Epub 2024 Jan 5.ABSTRACTAffective valence and intensity form the core of our emotional experiences. It has been proposed that affect reflects the prediction error between expected and actual states, such that better/worse-than-expected discrepancies result in positive/negative affect. However, whether the same principle applies to progress prediction errors remains unclear. We empirically and computationally evaluate the hypothesis that affect reflects the difference between expected and actual progress in forming a perceptual decision. We m...

Amphetamine increases motivation of humans and mice as measured by breakpoint, but does not affect an Electroencephalographic biomarker
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci. 2024 Jan 2. doi: 10.3758/s13415-023-01150-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTranslation of drug targets from preclinical studies to clinical trials has been aided by cross-species behavioral tasks, but evidence for brain-based engagement during task performance is still required. Cross-species progressive ratio breakpoint tasks (PRBTs) measure motivation-related behavior and are pharmacologically and clinically sensitive. We recently advanced elevated parietal alpha power as a cross-species electroencephalographic (EEG) biomarker of PRBT engagement. Given that amphetamine increases breakpoint in ...

Neural correlates of empathy in mild cognitive impairment
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci. 2023 Dec 29. doi: 10.3758/s13415-023-01146-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe occurrence of clinically significant changes in empathy is a matter of debate in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Altered empathic mechanisms observed in AD may be a consequence of cognitive impairment, more specifically of reduced mental flexibility and self-regulation. The present study explored possible changes in empathy for subjects in the prodromal phase of AD, namely mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD, and of their neural substrates. Eighteen MCI patients and 20 healthy controls (HC) were included in the study...

The effects of stress on reward responsiveness: a systematic review and preliminary meta-analysis of the event-related potential literature
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci. 2023 Dec 13. doi: 10.3758/s13415-023-01143-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExposure to stressful events is associated with a range of negative physical and mental health outcomes, including depression. It is critical to understand the mechanisms through which stress impacts mental health to identify promising targets for prevention and intervention efforts. Low-reward responsiveness is thought to be a mechanism of effects of stress on negative health outcomes and can be reliably measured at the neurophysiological level by using event-related potentials (ERPs), such as the reward positivity (Rew...
