Abstract Emotional arousal enhances perception and memory of high-priority information but impairs processing other information. Here, we propose that, under arousal, local glutamate levels signal the current strength a representation interact with norepinephrine (NE) to enhance high priority representations out-compete or suppress lower representations. In our "glutamate amplifies noradrenergic effects" (GANE) model, at site prioritized increases NE release from locus coeruleus (LC)...
Recent research indicates gender differences in the impact of stress on decision behavior, but little is known about brain mechanisms involved these gender-specific effects. The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to determine whether induced resulted patterns activation during a task involving monetary reward. Specifically, we manipulated physiological levels using cold pressor task, prior risky making task. Healthy men (n = 24, 12 stressed) and women 23, 11...
Previous studies suggested roles for curiosity and interest in knowledge acquisition exploration, but there has been a long-standing debate about how to define these concepts whether they are related or different. In this paper, we address the definition issue by arguing that is inherent difficulty defining interest, because both naïve concepts, which not supposed have priori scientific definitions. We present reward-learning framework of autonomous use illustrate importance process account...
This article proposes a summary-statistics-based power analysis-a practical method for conducting analysis mixed-effects modeling with two-level nested data (for both binary and continuous predictors), complementing the existing formula-based simulation-based methods. The proposed bases its logic on conditional equivalence of summary-statistics approach modeling, paring back to that simpler statistical (e.g., one-sample t test). Accordingly, allows us conduct using popular software such as...
In order to examine metacognitive accuracy (i.e., the relationship between judgment and memory performance), researchers often rely on by-participant analysis, where (e.g., resolution, as measured by gamma coefficient or signal detection measures) is computed for each participant values are entered into group-level statistical tests such t test. current work, we argue that regardless of measurements used, would produce a substantial inflation Type I error rates when random item effect...
When people encounter emotional events, their memory for those events is typically enhanced. But it has been unclear how emotionally arousing influence preceding information. Does arousal induce retrograde amnesia or enhancement? The current study revealed that this depends on the top-down goal relevance of Across three studies, we found induced by one image facilitated neutral item when prioritized item. In contrast, an impaired did not prioritize Emotional elicited both negative and...
Graph theory is a useful tool for deciphering structural and functional networks of the brain on various spatial temporal scales. The clustering coefficient quantifies abundance connected triangles in network major descriptive statistics networks. For example, it finds an application assessment small-worldness networks, which affected by attentional cognitive conditions, age, psychiatric disorders so forth. However, remains unclear how should be measured correlation-based network, among...
Revising one's goal in response to feedback about success or failure is a central but poorly understood self-regulatory process. Specifically, theoretical model that specifies how and much people revise their following lacking. Therefore, we synthesized previous empirical studies on revision shed light the processes individual differences revision. The 28 met inclusion criteria revealed clear pattern: People raised goals after lowered them failure. Results of meta-analysis further showed...

The arousal-biased competition model predicts that arousal increases the gain on neural between stimuli representations. Thus, simultaneously enhances processing of salient and impairs relatively less-salient stimuli. We tested this with a simple dot-probe task. On each trial, participants were exposed to one face image as cue stimulus place non-salient stimulus. A border around location further increased its bottom-up saliency. Before these visual shown, two tones played: predicted shock...
As people get older, they tend to remember more positive than negative information. This age-by-valence interaction has been called "positivity effect." The current study addressed the hypotheses that baseline functional connectivity at rest is predictive of older adults' brain activity when learning emotional information and their positivity effect in memory. Using fMRI, we examined relationship among resting-state connectivity, subsequent faces, individual differences (the relative...
Despite widespread belief that moods are affected by the menstrual cycle, researchers on emotion and reward have not paid much attention to cycle until recently. However, recent research has revealed different reactions emotional stimuli rewarding across phases of cycle. The current paper reviews emerging literature how ovarian hormone fluctuation during modulates reward. Behavioral neuroimaging studies in humans suggest estrogen progesterone opposing influences. That is, it appears enhances...
According to the critical brain hypothesis, is considered operate near criticality and realize efficient neural computations. Despite prior theoretical empirical evidence in favor of no direct link has been provided between human cognitive performance criticality. Here we provide such a key by analyzing resting-state dynamics functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) networks at whole-brain level. We develop data-driven analysis method, inspired from statistical physics theory spin...
Executive functions, a set of cognitive processes that enable flexible behavioral control, are known to decay with aging. Because such complex mental functions considered rely on the dynamic coordination functionally different neural systems, age-related decline in executive should be underpinned by alteration large-scale dynamics. However, effects age brain dynamics have not been firmly formulated. Here, we investigate changes applying "energy landscape analysis" publicly available...
Understanding the association between autonomic nervous system [ANS] function and brain morphology across lifespan provides important insights into neurovisceral mechanisms underlying health disease. Resting-state ANS activity, indexed by measures of heart rate [HR] its variability [HRV] has been associated with morphology, particularly cortical thickness [CT]. While findings have mixed regarding anatomical distribution direction associations, these inconsistencies may be due to sex age...
Maintaining curiosity in older age may be a key predictor of successful aging, but some prior research shows that declines with age. However, evidence suggests state – situational feeling response to information increase Prior work has largely not adequately differentiated and trait when examining its relationship In large lifespan sample (N = 1,218), we assess (using trivia rating task) examine the between each construct The results show that, line work, negative age, positive while...
