Deficits in reward learning are core symptoms across many mental disorders. Recent work suggests that such impairments arise by a diminished ability to use history guide behaviour, but the neuro-computational mechanisms through which these emerge remain unclear. Moreover, limited has taken transdiagnostic approach investigate whether psychological and neural give rise deficits shared forms of psychopathology. To provide insight into this issue, we explored probabilistic patients diagnosed...
Abstract The brain's default mode network (DMN) and the executive control (ECN) switch engagement are influenced by ventral attention (VAN). Alterations in resting‐state functional connectivity (RSFC) within this so‐called triple have been demonstrated patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) or anxiety disorders (ADs). This study investigated alterations RSFC comorbid MDD ADs to better understand pathophysiology of prevalent group patients. Sixty‐eight participants (52.9% male, mean...
Major Depression (MDD) and anxiety disorders are stress-related that share pathophysiological mechanisms. There is evidence for alterations of glutamate-glutamine, N-acetylaspartate (NAA) GABA in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a stress-sensitive region affected by hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA). The aim was to investigate metabolic ACC whether hair cortisol, current stress or early life adversity predict them.We investigated 22 patients with MDD comorbid disorder 23 healthy...
Personality, psychopathology, and motives of 44 surviving offenders committing mass murder in Germany over 25 years (1984–2009) were analyzed using court files psychiatric expertises. Initially, 123 murders detected the time period 1980–2010 (inclusive deceased offenders). Using a data entry form based on ViCLAS (Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System), we categorized murderers into three prototypes 'TwoStep Cluster'-method (separation different groups depending their similarity specific...
Abstract Aggression occurs across the population ranging on a symptom continuum. Most previous studies have used magnetic resonance imaging in clinical/forensic samples, which is associated with several confounding factors. The present study examined structural brain characteristics two healthy samples differing only their propensity for aggressive behavior. Voxel- and surface-based morphometry (SBM) analyses were performed 29 male martial artists 32 age-matched controls. Martial had...
Abstract Objectives The direct exertion as well the visual perception of violence can have a hedonistic effect and elicit positive arousal in predisposed individuals. This appetitive aspect aggression healthy subjects has been neglected psychiatric research so far. Methods Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we tested whether trained sports with violent component (martial arts) show altered brain responses reward‐associated areas when compared to controls. Sixteen martial artists...

Introduction Perception and practice of violence have hedonistic aspects that are associated with positive arousal (appetitive aggression). Earlier studies primarily investigated the etiology aggressive behavior in forensic psychiatric samples. To deal possible confounds (e.g. hospitalization, co-morbidities), present study examined structural brain characteristics healthy people inclined to (martial artists) comparison controls not showing violent behavior.
