Psychological disorders and ecological factors affect the development of executive functions: Some perspectives

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2016
The links between deficits in executive functions (EF) (e.g., mental flexibility, inhibition capacities...), and some psychological disorders (e.g., anxiety and depressive disorders) has been investigated in the past decades or so. Observations evidenced

The heartbreak of depression: 'Psycho-cardiac' coupling in myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ample evidence identifies strong links between major depressive disorder (MDD) and both risk of ischemic or coronary heart disease (CHD) and resultant morbidity and mortality. The molecular mechanistic bases of these linkages are poorly defined. Systemic

Bulleyaconitine A inhibits morphine physical and psychological dependence via dynorphin A expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background and purpose: Drug addiction is a chronic and recurrent brain disease, which has become a social problem in recent years. Our study investigated Bulleyaconitine A (BAA) inhibition in physical and psychological dependence and explored underlying mechanisms of action.

Unveiling gender differences in psychophysiological dynamics: support for a two-dimensional autonomic space approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience
IntroductionTo date, studies focusing on the connection between psychological functioning and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity usually adopted the one-dimensional model of autonomic balance, according to which activation of one branch of the ANS ...

Resting frontal asymmetry and reward sensitivity theory motivational traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The revised reinforcement sensitivity theory (rRST) of personality has conceptualized three main systems: the behavioural approach system (BAS), behavioural inhibition system (BIS), and fightflight- freeze system (FFFS). Research links greater relative

The effects of memantine on prepulse inhibition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Reduced prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle provides evidence of deficient sensorimotor gating in several disorders, including schizophrenia. The role of NMDA neurotransmission in the regulation of PPI is unclear, due to cross-species differences in the

Inhibit My Disinhibition: The Role of the Inferior Frontal Cortex in Sexual Inhibition and the Modulatory Influence of Sexual Excitation Proneness

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Sexual behaviour is the result of an interplay between distinct neural inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms. Individual differences in sexual excitation and sexual inhibition are proposed to play an important role in the processes sustaining the ...
