Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are genetic of peroxisome and metabolism that characterized by profound developmental neurological phenotypes. The most severe class PBDs—Zellweger spectrum disorder (ZSD)—is caused mutations in peroxin genes result both non‐functional peroxisomes mitochondrial dysfunction. It is unclear, however, how defective contribute to impairment. In order understand the molecular basis this inter‐organellar relationship, we investigated fate peroxisomal mRNAs...
Abstract Although both creativity and humor elicit experiences of surprise followed by appreciation, it remains unknown whether shared or distinct patterns effective connectivity are involved in their processing. The present fMRI study used dynamic causal modeling parametrical empirical Bayes analysis to examine the between amygdala frontoparietal network during two‐stage We examined processing setup punch line stages for humor, including typical forms (alternate uses incongruity‐resolution...
'Getting a joke' always requires resolving an apparent incongruity but the particular cognitive operations called upon vary depending on nature of joke itself. Previous research has identified primary neural correlates and affective processes to respond humor generally, little work been done substrates underlying distinct required comprehend types. This study explored successfully three types: bridging-inference jokes, exaggeration jokes ambiguity jokes. For all types, left dlPFC appeared...
Hostile jokes provide aggressive catharsis and a feeling of superiority. Behavioral research has found that hostile are perceived as funnier than non-hostile jokes. The purpose the present study was to identify neural correlates interaction between type humor by comparing (HJs), (NJs), their corresponding sentences (HSs) (NSs). primarily showed activation in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) midbrain compared with baseline. Conversely, revealed ventromedial PFC (vmPFC), amygdala,...
Humor styles are important in facilitating social relationships. Following humor theory, this functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study is the first to use "one-liner" investigate neural correlates involved appreciating that differ terms of target (self or other) and motivation (benign detrimental). Interestingly, we observed greater activation response facilitates relationships with others (self-defeating affiliative humor) than enhances self (self-enhancing aggressive humor)....
Humor operates through a variety of techniques, which first generate surprise and then amusement laughter once the unexpected incongruity is resolved. As different types jokes use corresponding humor processes also differ. The present study builds on framework 'tri-component theory humor', details mechanisms involved in cognition (comprehension), affect (appreciation), (expression). This seeks to identify differences among joke between sexes/genders neural underlying processing. Three verbal...
The four-stage model comprises the expectation, incongruity, resolution, and elaboration stages of humor processing. In previous studies, most researchers used two-element jokes (setup punch line) as stimuli, based on experimental methods, to explore process. By contrast, present study a corpus with novelty three-element verbal perform direct separation from material clarify processes. this study, we nonjokes, conducted repeated-measures analysis variance 3 × 2 two-way within-subject design....
Gelotophobics have social deficits in the form of relative humorlessness and heightened sensitivity to aggressive humor; however, little is known about neural reward mechanisms for this group. The present study attempted identify substrates responses hostile non-hostile jokes gelotophobics non-gelotophobics. showed greater activation than did non-gelotophobics dorsal corticostriatal system, which comprises dorsolateral prefrontal cortex striatum, suggesting a higher degree voluntary top-down...
