Many brain regions have been defined, but a comprehensive formalization of each region's
function in relation to human behavior is still lacking. Current knowledge comes from various …

A key goal in neuroscience is to understand brain mechanisms of cognitive functions. An
emerging approach is “brain decoding”, which consists of inferring a set of experimental …

To map the neural substrate of mental function, cognitive neuroimaging relies on controlled
psychological manipulations that engage brain systems associated with specific cognitive …

Neuroimaging studies of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) suggest that the dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex (dACC) region is responsive to a wide variety of stimuli and psychological …

How do emotional stimuli change the way we control our behavior? The interaction between
emotion and behavior-shaping, cognitive control mechanisms remain little understood in …

When an attachment relationship is severed, so is homeostatic maintenance, leading to
dysregulation of multiple physiological systems. Expanding upon Sbarra and Hazan's …

Influential theories of Medial Frontal Cortex (MFC) function suggest that the MFC registers
cognitive conflict as an aversive signal, but no study directly tested this idea. Instead, recent …
