Neural correlates of processing valence and arousal in affective words [PDF]
Psychological frameworks conceptualize emotion along 2 dimensions, "valence" and "arousal." Arousal invokes a single axis of intensity increasing from neutral to maximally arousing.

Objective Lewy body disease (LBD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of misfolded α‐synuclein in the brain. Neuroinflammation has long been implicated in LBD pathogenesis, and recent genetic studies in Parkinson's disease (a clinical manifestation of LBD) have shown consistent association with the human leukocyte ...

Affective modulation of cognitive control is determined by performance-contingency and mediated by ventromedial prefrontal and cingulate cortex [PDF]
Cognitive control requires a fine balance between stability, the protection of an on-going task-set, and flexibility, the ability to update a task-set in line with changing contingencies.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex Causally Supports Meta-Learning.
In dynamic environments with volatile rewards the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is believed to determine whether a visual object is relevant and should be chosen. The ACC may achieve this by integrating reward information over time to estimate which objects are worth to explore and which objects should be avoided.

Harnessing the Neurobiology of Empathy and Compassion to Alleviate Burnout in Neurology
The neurologist cares for patients with complex chronic conditions that compromise their wellbeing. Many such disorders are poorly understood. Whereas for some, effective symptomatic treatments exist, for most we lack an understanding of the molecular and cellular bases for disease pathogenesis needed for discovering disease‐modifying treatments ...

Reward-based contextual learning supported by anterior cingulate cortex
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is commonly associated with cognitive control and decision making, but its specific function is highly debated. To explore a recent theory that the ACC learns the reward values of task contexts (Holroyd & McClure in ...
