We found enhanced activity in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex [rACC; MNI space coordinates (x, y, z): — 6, 41, 22; Z = 3.85; P < 0.0005] and medial orbitofrontal cortex (mObfc; 6, 49, — 19; Z = 3.42; P < 0.0005),
ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC; 13, 32, — 14; Z = 4.56; P < 0.0005 uncorrected), and the vmPFC -LRB--- 4, 39, — 13; Z = 3.48; P < 0.0005).

For this study, Ito and her team looked at the
ventral hippocampus in rats, a sub-region that correlates to the
anterior hippocampus in humans.
They found that compassion training increased activity in the medial orbitofrontal cortex and
ventral striatum, areas associated with love and reward; empathy training increased activity in the insula and
anterior cingulate cortex, typically involved in registering another's pain.
With these tools in hand, they determined that in Hofstenia, as in planarians, Wnt signaling controls regeneration along the
anterior - posterior (head - tail) axis and Bmp - Admp signaling controls regeneration along the dorsal -
ventral (back - belly) axis.

Seed - based connectivity analyses were conducted to assess differences between groups in 3 default mode network (DMN) components (
anterior, posterior, and
ventral) and 4 additional non-DMN networks: left and right executive - control, language, and higher visual networks.
A complex set of interactions between morphogens and their corresponding signalling pathways contributes to organizing limb growth along the dorsal -
ventral,
anterior - posterior and proximal - distal axes.
Our results showed decreased connectivity at baseline in patients versus controls in the posterior default mode network, and increased connectivity in the
anterior and
ventral default mode networks.
Specifically, FC decreases were identified in regions implicated in episodic memory (EM) processing (posteromedial cortex,
ventral medial prefrontal cortex, and angular gyrus), whereas connectivity increases were detected in dorsal and
anterior medial prefrontal and lateral temporal cortices.
Our results suggest that earlier in the disease, regions of the posterior default mode network start to disengage whereas regions within the
anterior and
ventral networks enhance their connectivity.
For the measurement of hemolymph flow speeds in the
ventral abdomen, mosquitoes were restrained
ventral - side up by placing pins: (1) against (not through) the
anterior pronotal lobe, and (2) through non-vascular areas (e.g. cell R3) of each wing without creating horizontal or vertical tension (Figure 1C).
Right: posterior

For the simultaneous visualization of hemolymph flow through the heart and
ventral abdominal contractions, as well as the quantification of hemolymph flow speeds in the lateral abdomen, mosquitoes were restrained laterally by placing pins: (1) on either side of the cervical membrane such that they crossed dorsally and restrained the mosquito between the pins and the Sylgard; (2) through non-vascular portions of each wing after they had been teased away from the abdominal tergum; (3) between the wings and the
anterior portion of the abdomen; (4) over the legs, entering the Sylgard posterior to the third leg pair; and (5) immediately dorsal of the longitudinal midline of the scutum (Figure 1B).
Tracer applied into Cluster N labeled neuronal somata in the Gld regions of both hemispheres with the vast majority being located on the ipsilateral side relative to Cluster N. On the ipsilateral side, the neurons projecting onto Cluster N (Fig 1C, 2A, shown in green; Fig. 2C, shown in black) were mainly located in lateral and
ventral parts of the DLL (Nucleus dorsolateralis
anterior thalami, pars lateralis) with few additional connections from the LdOPT (Nucleus lateralis dorsalis nuclei optici principalis thalami) and SpRt (Nucleus suprarotundus).

Carbohydrate which has been directly assessed (not deduced by subtraction of other components from total weight of sample) is significant in amount, reaching levels in the range 8 — 30 %, except in the
anterior dorsal and
ventral regions (head) where levels are 6 % and < 1 %, respectively.

anterior cingulate and amygdala — are regions known to be involved in reward, motivation and craving.»
The
anterior insula receives a direct projection from the basal part of the
ventral medial nucleus of the thalamus and a particularly large input from the central nucleus of the amygdala.
Relative to healthy controls, MDD youth displayed a potentiated response to peer rejection in a
ventral network of brain regions involved in the identification of emotional and social stimuli and the generation of affective states (Phillips et al., 2003), including the sgACC,
anterior insula, amygdala and NAcc.
First we hypothesized that, relative to healthy controls, youth with current MDD would show increased reactivity to peer rejection in a network of
ventral brain regions implicated in affective processing of social information, including the amygdala, sgACC,
anterior insula,
ventral ACC and VLPFC.
In this model, the cognitive control system including prefrontal and parietal regions and the
anterior cingulate is crucial to decision - making but is functionally dominated by a second affective system that includes regions which are important to processing reward and social and emotional salience, including but not limited to the amygdala,
ventral striatum, orbitofrontal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, and the superior temporal sulcus.
