Older adults systematically show an enhanced N170 amplitude during the visualization of facial expressions emotion. The present study aimed to replicate this finding, further investigating if effect is specific stimuli, in other neural correlates face processing, and modulated by own-age faces. To purpose, younger (n = 25; Mage 28.36), middle-aged 23; 48.74), older 67.36) performed two face/emotion identification tasks EEG recording. results showed that groups did not differ regarding P100...
Abstract Rationale For decades, cannabis has been the most widely used illicit substance in world, particularly among youth. Research suggests that mental health problems associated with use may result from its effect on reward brain circuit, emotional processes, and cognition. However, findings are mostly derived correlational studies inconsistent, adolescents. Objectives Methods Using data IMAGEN study, participants (non-users, persistent users, abstinent users) were classified according...
Delay discounting (or temporal discounting) refers to the decrease of subjective value a reward as time interval for receiving that increases. A recent meta-analysis showed delay appears be similar across lifespan younger, middle-aged, and older adults prefer sooner rewards, despite smaller, over later even if larger. However further investigation is needed understand potential role individual factors in lifespan. The present study aimed contribute this debate, by investigating influence...
Auditory event-related potentials (ERP) may serve as diagnostic tools for schizophrenia and inform on the susceptibility this condition. Particularly, examination of N1 P2 components auditory ERP shed light impairments information processing streams in schizophrenia. However, habituation properties (i.e., decreasing amplitude with repeated presentation an stimulus) these remain poorly studied compared to other ERPs. Therefore, current study used a roving paradigm assess modulation simple...
The organization of the Hierarchical Taxonomy Psychopathology (HiTOP) model provides unique opportunities to evaluate whether neural risk measures operate as indicators broader latent liabilities (e.g., externalizing proneness) or narrower expressions antisociality and alcohol abuse). Following this approach, current study recruited a sample 182 participants (54% female) who completed psychopathology (also internalizing) associated traits. Participants also three tasks (Flanker-No Threat,...
Abstract This study links different-modality indicators of RDoC constructs (self-reports, behavior, and error-related brain activity) to explore their association with internalizing externalizing dimensions psychopathology. Participants (N = 182; 54% female) completed a questionnaire assessing clinical problems along self-report scales EEG tasks mapping the following constructs: Performance Monitoring (Cognitive Systems), Inhibitory Control Sustained Threat (Negative Valence Systems)....
The current meta-analysis includes 477 records (N = 142,692) and comprehensively explores the complex interplay between psychopathy, antisocial behavior, empathy. First, empathy domains (cognitive affective) were used to dissociate behavior from psychopathy. Cognitive was more impaired in groups (gcognitive -0.43; gaffective -0.11), while samples scoring higher psychopathy displayed larger deficits affective (gaffective -0.40; gcognitive -0.22). Secondly, specific associations dimensions...
The Affect–Integration–Motivation (AIM) framework was proposed to clarify how brain circuits that support decision-making are altered by aging (Samanez-Larkin & Knutson, 2015). According this framework, choices preceded affective, integrative, and motivational processes, which may all be affected aging. Monetary Incentive Delay (MID) task allows tapping into several mechanisms the AIM present registered report aimed explore temporal resolution of EEG find neural correlates age differences in...
