Alexithymia is associated with blunted anterior
cingulate response to social rejection: Implications for daily rejection.
Not exact matches
Relative to ordinary participants, the steely performers also showed less blood flow in a part of the brain that helps govern emotional
responses, the anterior
cingulate cortex.
Studies indicate that meditation affects communication around the anterior
cingulate cortex — a brain region that regulates the fear
response.
Hundreds of legal opinions every year have begun to invoke the science of mind and brain to bolster legal arguments — references not only to brain scans but to a range of studies that show that areas such as the amygdala or the anterior
cingulate cortex are implicated in this
response or that.
In an investigation of predictors of treatment
response in depression, Dr. Pizzagalli's laboratory was the first to show that pretreatment resting EEG activity in the rostral anterior
cingulate cortex predicted therapeutic improvement 4 - 6 months later in depressed individuals.
Reduced cognitive control of
response inhibition by the anterior
cingulate cortex in autism spectrum disorders.
However, not much is known with regards to how or if poor sleep is affecting a particular brain area called the dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex (DACC), which is involved in the regulation of negative emotional
responses.
[11] Researchers have also discovered that it takes more effort for a brain area known as the dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex to modify emotional
responses which are negative in individuals with depression who have poor sleep patterns.
Regulation of human affective
responses by anterior
cingulate and limbic mu - opioid neurotransmission
Using the previously described social exclusion task in the scanner (Cyberball), our group found that the MAOA - uVNTR was associated with the degree of exclusion - related neural activation, such that the individuals with the low expressing alleles had the greatest
response within the portion of the anterior
cingulate associated with self - reported distress to exclusion (Eisenberger et al., 2007).
Self
responses along
cingulate cortex reveal quantitative neural phenotype for high - functioning autism
Regulation of human affective
responses by anterior
cingulate and limbic µ - opioid neurotransmission
Conduct - disordered youth exhibit a decreased dopamine
response to reward and increased risk - taking behaviors related to abnormally disrupted frontal activity in the anterior
cingulate cortex (ACC), orbitofrontal cortices (OFC), and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) that worsens over time due to dysphoria activation of brain stress systems and increases in corticotropin - releasing factor (CRF).
Activity of the subgenual
cingulate cortex, which takes part in the regulation of the limbic activity, seems to play an important role in the
response to CBT like in the
response to antidepressant treatment.
The results of the investigation showed that people who had reported more experiences of social support over the preceding 9 days had lower dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex activity in
response to the virtual social exclusion task and also exhibited lower cortisol
responses to the TSST, suggesting lower levels of experienced stress.
It has been shown that a brain network including the anterior
cingulate cortex (ACC) and lateral prefrontal cortex areas, mostly modulated by the neurotransmitter dopamine, subserves the function of regulating thoughts, emotions and
responses.13 Patterns of activation of these brain structures are related to the efficiency of resolving conflict14 and variations in the size and structure of the ACC have been related to the EC score obtained in temperament questionnaires.15
Adults presenting with addictive disorders show changes in these systems including heightened striatal
response to salient stimuli and dampened fronto -
cingulate regulation.
