Feeling in control when things go well: A meta-analytical account of how action-outcome valence shapes the implicit sense of agency Open
The sense of agency, the feeling of being the author of one's own actions and their outcomes, is a central aspect of self-awareness. Previous studies have typically relied on highly simplified laboratory tasks involving affectively neutral…

Satiety and food availability modulate the approach and inhibitory responses to food cues in healthy weight participants Open
The widespread availability of high-calorie foods may disrupt the balance between homeostatic and reward-driven eating behaviors. Cognitive processes like automatic approach tendencies, inhibitory control, and food craving play critical ro…

Neural mechanisms for visuomotor co-regulation in social synchronization Open
During social activities, people coordinate their movements by exchanging visuomotor information. Interpersonal coordination occurs from two complementary processes entailing voluntary (planned) and spontaneous (emergent) synchronization, …

Beyond the Surface: Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Efficacy in Reducing Craving in Addictive Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Open
Results provide preliminary evidence supporting the effectiveness of dTMS for the treatment of SUDs. Current limitations and future directions are critically discussed, highlighting the need for further rigorous research to refine the ther…

The hidden side of body integrity dysphoria: aberrant limbic responses to dynamic touch Open
Body integrity dysphoria (BID) is a brain-based disorder characterized by a persistent, obsessing and disturbing desire for the amputation of healthy limbs. Importantly, individuals with BID are adamant about which specific body segment th…

Beyond the Surface: Deep TMS Efficacy in Reducing Craving in Addictive Disorders. A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Open
Background Substance use disorders (SUDs) and Gambling Disorder (GD) are addictive disorders with a chronic course. Given the limited efficacy of conventional treatments, there is increasing interest in alternative strategies targeting the…

Trait food craving predicts functional connectivity between dopaminergic midbrain and the fusiform food area during eating imagery Open
Neurofunctional coupling between the dopaminergic midbrain (i.e., ventral tegmental area, VTA) and higher-order visual regions may contribute to food craving, leading to the onset or maintenance of obesity. We recently showed that the VTA …

How images of food become cravingly salient in obesity Open
Objective This case‐control study was aimed at testing two main hypotheses: (i) obesity is characterized by neurofunctional alterations within the mesocorticolimbic reward system, a brain network originating from the midbrain ventral tegme…

How Images of Food Become Cravingly Salient in Obesity Open
Background Obesity is characterized by neurofunctional alterations within the mesocorticolimbic reward system, a brain network that originates from the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA). Here we tested the hypothesis that this system m…

Neural circuits mediating food cue-reactivity: toward a new model shaping the interplay of internal and external factors Open
In the current opinion paper, we suggest a new perspective on the neuroimaging studies investigating the neural bases of food-cue regulation. Stemming from the evidence that different factors can modulate the neural response to drug cues (…

A meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies on developmental dyslexia across European orthographies: the ADOD model Open
According to the “classic” and the “new” model, developmental dyslexia (DD) is associated with dysfunctions of the left temporoparietal (TP), ventral occipitotemporal (vOT) and frontal brain circuits. However, these models make different a…

How the harm of drugs and their availability affect brain reactions to drug cues: a meta-analysis of 64 neuroimaging activation studies Open
Visual drug cues are powerful triggers of craving in drug abusers contributing to enduring addiction. According to previous qualitative reviews, the response of the orbitofrontal cortex to such cues is sensitive to whether subjects are see…

Altered sense of agency in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome: behavioural, clinical and functional magnetic resonance imaging findings Open
Current neurocognitive models of motor control postulate that accurate action monitoring is crucial for a normal experience of agency—the ability to attribute the authorship of our actions and their consequences to ourselves. Recent studie…

Clustering the Brain With “CluB”: A New Toolbox for Quantitative Meta-Analysis of Neuroimaging Data Open
In this paper we describe and validate a new coordinate-based method for meta-analysis of neuroimaging data based on an optimized hierarchical clustering algorithm: CluB (Clustering the Brain). The CluB toolbox permits both to extract a se…
