Torture Exposure Modulates Cognitive Control and Attention Neural Network Connectivity During a Go/NoGo Task Open
Response inhibition, attention, and motor networks appear to be less connected in TSs, which may be specifically linked to a posttraumatic stress dysphoria symptom profile. The findings suggest that targeting cognitive control processes ma…

Self-construal modulates default mode network connectivity in refugees with PTSD Open
Such a finding indicates that self-construal may shape the core neural architecture of PTSD, given that functional disruptions to the vmPFC underpin the core mechanisms of extinction learning, emotion dysregulation and self-referential pro…

Significant age by childhood trauma interactions on grey matter volumes: A whole brain <span>VBM</span> analysis Open
Background Childhood trauma is deleterious to long term brain development. The changes are variable, and depend on gender, age and the nature of the trauma. In this exploratory analysis, we investigated the effects of exposure to emotional…

An <span>fMRI</span> examination of the neural basis of suicide attempts: The role of mentalizing in the context of mood Open
Objectives Facial emotion recognition (FER) deficits in depressed mood disorder patients contribute to suicidality. Prior research shows that intrinsic brain activity patterns are altered by attempting suicide. Therefore, we investigated i…
