BACKGROUND: The underlying neurobiological mechanisms that account for the onset and
maintenance of binge-eating disorder (BED) are not sufficiently understood. This functional …

fMRI studies have shown that the perception of facial disgust expressions specifically activates
the insula. The present fMRI study investigated whether this structure is also involved in …

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive and persistent worrying.
Neural substrates of this disorder are insufficiently understood, which relates to functional as …

Findings from animal as well as human neuroimaging studies suggest that reward delivery
is associated with the activation of subcortical limbic and prefrontal brain regions, including …

We examined whether males and females differ in the intensity and laterality of their
hemodynamic responses towards visual disgust and fear stimuli. Forty-one female, and 51 male …

Neurofunctional mechanisms underlying cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) are still not clearly
understood. This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study focused on changes …

The stress hormone cortisol is known to influence declarative memory and associative
learning. In animals, stress has often been reported to have opposing effects on memory and …

This functional magnetic resonance imaging study investigated the disgust- and fear-reactivity
of patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Ten OCD patients were …

The main goal of this study was to estimate the correlation between various psychophysiological
variables and self-reported disgust during a picture perception paradigm. We further …

The present functional magnetic resonance imaging study investigated the fear and disgust
reactivity of patients suffering from spider phobia. Ten phobics and 13 control subjects were …
