In the past decade, neuroimaging research has begun to identify key brain regions involved
in self-referential processing, most consistently midline structures such as the posterior …

Over the past two decades, research testing regulatory focus theory has made multiple
contributions to understanding better many different psychological issues. In this article, we …

The ability to imagine the future is a complex mental faculty that depends on an ensemble of
cognitive processes supported by an extended set of brain regions. Our aim here was to …

In three different studies, we challenge the traditional view that work and play are mutually
exclusive phenomena. We introduce the concept of playful work design–the proactive …

This chapter explores the motivational dynamics of the promotion and prevention systems
outlined in regulatory focus theory (Higgins, 1997). It includes a review of the core tenets of …

A central challenge for neuroscience lies in relating inter-individual variability to the
functional properties of specific brain regions. Yet, considerable variability exists in the …

This article presents a general framework in which different manifestations of
psychopathology can be conceptualized as dysfunctions in one or more mechanisms of self …

The standard clinical technique for using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
for major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with limited efficacy to date. Such limited …

According to many studies, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) encodes the
subjective value of disparate rewards on a common scale. Yet, a host of other reward factors …

Although considerable efforts have been made to understand the neural underpinnings of
(state) reactive aggression, which is triggered by provocation or perceived threat, little is …
