Relatively discrete experimental literatures have grown to support the insula's role in domains of interoception, focal exteroceptive attention and cognitive control, experience anxiety, even as theoretical accounts asserted that insula is a critical zone for integrating across these domains. Here we provide first demonstration there exists functional topography insula, with distinct regions same participants responding highly selective fashion interoceptive, exteroceptive, affective...
Objective: Patients with depression show blunted amygdala hemodynamic activity to positive stimuli, including autobiographical memories. The authors examined the therapeutic efficacy of real-time functional MRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) training aimed at increasing amygdala’s response memories in patients depression. Method: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial, unmedicated adults (N=36) were randomly assigned receive two sessions rtfMRI-nf either from (N=19) or...
Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) with neurofeedback allows investigation of human brain neuroplastic changes that arise as subjects learn to modulate neurophysiological function using real-time feedback regarding their own hemodynamic responses stimuli. We investigated the feasibility training healthy humans self-regulate activity amygdala, which plays major roles in emotional processing. Participants experimental group were provided ongoing information about blood...
Background Amygdala hemodynamic responses to positive stimuli are attenuated in major depressive disorder (MDD), and normalize with remission. Real-time functional MRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) offers a non-invasive method modulate this regional activity. We examined whether depressed participants can use rtfMRI-nf enhance amygdala autobiographical memories, ability alters symptom severity. Methods Unmedicated MDD subjects were assigned receive from either left (LA; experimental group, n =...
Abstract Neurofeedback has begun to attract the attention and scrutiny of scientific medical mainstream. Here, neurofeedback researchers present a consensus-derived checklist that aims improve reporting experimental design standards in field.
Appetite and weight changes are common but variable diagnostic markers in major depressive disorder: some depressed individuals manifest increased appetite, while others lose their appetite. Many of the brain regions implicated appetitive responses to food have also been depression. It is thus remarkable that there exists no published research comparing neural stimuli patients with versus decreased appetites.Using functional MRI, activity was compared unmedicated or appetite healthy control...
Primate inferior temporal (IT) cortex is thought to contain a high-level representation of objects at the interface between vision and semantics. This suggests that perceived similarity real-world might be predicted from IT representation. Here we show elicit similar activity patterns in human tend judged as by humans. The explained judgments better than early visual cortex, other ventral stream regions, range computational models. Human exhibited category clusters reflected several...
We observed in a previous study (PLoS ONE 6:e24522) that the self-regulation of amygdala activity via real-time fMRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) with positive emotion induction was associated, healthy participants, an enhancement functional connectivity between left (LA) and six regions prefrontal cortex. These included rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC), bilateral dorsomedial (DMPFC), superior frontal gyrus (SFG), right medial frontopolar (MFPC). Together LA, these thus formed...
Amygdala hemodynamic responses to positive stimuli are attenuated in major depressive disorder (MDD) and normalize with remission. Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) training the goal of upregulating amygdala activity during recall happy autobiographical memories (AMs) has been suggested, recently explored, as a novel therapeutic approach that resulted improvement self-reported mood depressed subjects. In this study, we assessed possibility sustained...
