Executive control is a complex high-level cognitive function that relies on distributed brain
circuitry. We propose that the anterior insular cortex plays an under-appreciated role in …

Anxiety is experienced in response to threats that are distal or uncertain, involving changes
in one's subjective state, autonomic responses, and behavior. Defensive and physiologic …

Evidence is provided for a new conceptualization of the connectivity and functions of the
cingulate cortex in emotion, action, and memory. The anterior cingulate cortex receives …

Clinical research on the beneficial effects induced by slow-paced breathing has been
increasingly extended in the past twenty years. Improvements in cardiovascular functioning …

This review paper provides an integrative account regarding neurophysiological correlates
of positive emotions and affect that cumulatively contribute to the scaffolding for positive …

Subdivisions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) evolved at different times. Agranular parts of the
PFC emerged in early mammals, and rodents, primates, and other modern mammals share …

Background This meta-analysis aimed to explore the most robust findings across numerous
existing resting-state functional imaging and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies on the …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a critical role in the generation and regulation of emotion.
However, we lack an integrative framework for understanding how different emotion-related …

To compare findings across species, neuroscience relies on cross-species homologies,
particularly in terms of brain areas. For cingulate cortex, a structure implicated in behavioural …

Altered sensory processing has been an important feature of the clinical descriptions of
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is evidence that sensory dysregulation arises early …
