Context effects on probability estimation

Many decisions rely on how we evaluate potential outcomes and estimate their corresponding probabilities of occurrence. Outcome evaluation is subjective because it requires consulting internal preferences and is sensitive to context. In contrast, probabili ...

Sad faces increase the heartbeat-associated interoceptive information flow within the salience network: a MEG study

Young Min Kim, Hyeongdong Park

The somatic marker hypothesis proposes that the cortical representation of visceral signals is a crucial component of emotional processing. No previous study has investigated the information flow among brain regions that process visceral information during ...

Constitutive differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness are related to divergent spatial information processing abilities

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Simone Astori, Eleni Vasilaki, Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress response facilitates survival through adaptation and is intimately related to cognitive processes. The Morris water maze task probes spatial learning and memory in rodents and glucocorticoids (i.e. corticosterone (CORT) in rats) have been sugges ...

Brain networks for engaging oneself in positive-social emotion regulation

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Frank Scharnowski, Yury Koush

Positive emotions facilitate cognitive performance, and their absence is associated with burdening psychiatric disorders. However, the brain networks regulating positive emotions are not well understood, especially with regard to engaging oneself in positi ...

Heartbeat-evoked cortical responses: Underlying mechanisms, functional roles, and methodological considerations

Olaf Blanke, Hyeongdong Park

The heart continuously and cyclically communicates with the brain. Beyond homeostatic regulation and sensing, recent neuroscience research has started to shed light on brain-heart interactions in diverse cognitive and emotional processes. In particular, ne ...

Pro Free Will Priming Enhances "Risk-Taking" Behavior in the Iowa Gambling Task, but Not in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task: Two Independent Priming Studies

Christine Mohr, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Alessandro Tremea

Studies indicated that people behave less responsibly after exposure to information containing deterministic statements as compared to free will statements or neutral statements. Thus, deterministic primes should lead to enhanced risk-taking behavior. We t ...

Embodied memory: unconscious smiling modulates emotional evaluation of episodic memories

Pierre Magistretti, Delphine Preissmann, Mathieu Arminjon

Since Damasio introduced the somatic markers hypothesis in Damasio (1994), it has spread through the psychological community, where it is now commonly acknowledged that somatic states are a factor in producing the qualitative dimension of our experiences. ...

The effects of extrinsic stress on somatic markers and behavior are dependent on animal housing conditions

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Guillaume Poirier, Michael van der Kooij, Damien Sébastien Huzard

Properties of the environment play an important role in animal wellbeing and may modulate the effects of external threats. Whereas stressors can affect emotion and impair cognition, environmental enrichment may prevent the occurrence of such negative seque ...

Medial Forebrain Bundle Deep Brain Stimulation has Symptom-specific Anti-depressant Effects in Rats and as Opposed to Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex Stimulation Interacts With the Reward System

Martin Vogel

Background: In recent years, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a promising treatment option for patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Several stimulation targets have successfully been tested in clinical settings, includin ...

Prefrontal Plasticity and Stress Inoculation-Induced Resilience

Marie Schaer

Coping with mild early life stress tends to make subsequent coping efforts more effective and therefore more likely to be used as a means of arousal regulation and resilience. Here we show that this developmental learning-like process of stress inoculation ...

La donnée géographique aux frontières des organisations : approche socio-cognitive et systémique de son appropriation

Matthieu Noucher

Geographic Information Technologies are now widespread. Geomatics tools are no longer restricted to a small number of technicians but impact on all of the actors within the land management sector (planners, geologists, foresters…). Many partnerships have e ...

Abnormal fear conditioning and amygdala processing in an animal model of autism

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Henry Markram, Deborah La Mendola, Kamila Markram, Tania Rinaldi

A core feature of autism spectrum disorders is the impairment in social interactions. Among other brain regions, a deficit in amygdala processing has been suggested to underlie this impairment, but whether the amygdala is processing fear abnormally in auti ...
