Frontolimbic responses to emotional faces in young people at familial risk of depression. by Mannie, Z, Taylor, M, Harmer, C, Cowen, P, Norbury, R

“…METHODS: We used a block designed functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure the neural responses to a task involving the matching of emotional facial expressions in 29 young people (age 16-21 years) who had a biological parent with a history of major depression, and 30 age- and gender-matched controls. …”

Spatially constrained hierarchical parcellation of the brain with resting-state fMRI. by Blumensath, T, Jbabdi, S, Glasser, M, Van Essen, D, Ugurbil, K, Behrens, T, Smith, S

“…The approach exploits spatial dependency in the fluctuations observed with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) during rest. Single subject parcellations are derived in a two stage procedure in which a set of (~1000 to 5000) stable seeds is grown into an initial detailed parcellation. …”

Representation in the human brain of food texture and oral fat by de Araujo, I, Rolls, E

“…We investigated their representation in the human brain using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging. It was shown that the viscosity of oral stimuli is represented in the (primary) taste cortex in the anterior insula, in which activation was proportional to the log of the viscosity of a cellulose stimulus (carboxymethyl cellulose), and was also produced by sucrose. …”

Causal manipulation of functional connectivity in a specific neural pathway during behaviour and at rest by Johnen, V, Neubert, F, Buch, E, Verhagen, L, O’Reilly, J, Mars, R, Rushworth, M

“…We demonstrate that paired transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) near ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and primary motor cortex (M1) with a short 8-ms inter-pulse interval evoking synchronous pre- and post-synaptic activity and which strengthens interregional connectivity between the two areas in a pattern consistent with Hebbian plasticity, leads to increased functional connectivity between PMv and M1 as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Moreover, we show that strengthening connectivity between these nodes has effects on a wider network of areas, such as decreasing coupling in a parallel motor programming stream. …”

When BOLD is thicker than water: processing social information about kin and friends at different levels of the social network by Wlodarski, R, Dunbar, R

“…Twenty-five female participants engaged in a cognitive social task involving different individuals in their social network while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning to detect BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level Dependent) signals changes. …”

Analysis of right ventricular function in healthy mice and a murine model of heart failure by in vivo MRI. by Wiesmann, F, Frydrychowicz, A, Rautenberg, J, Illinger, R, Rommel, E, Haase, A, Neubauer, S

“…Because gene-targeted mouse models of cardiomyopathy may involve remodeling of the right heart, the purpose of this study was to develop high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for in vivo quantification of RV volumes and global function in mice. …”

Monetary reward processing in obese individuals with and without binge eating disorder by Balodis, I, Kober, H, Worhunsky, P, White, M, Stevens, M, Pearlson, G, Sinha, R, Grilo, C, Potenza, M

“…Methods: Nineteen obese individuals seeking treatment for binge eating disorder (BED) were compared with 19 non-BED obese individuals (OB) and 19 lean control subjects (LC) while performing a monetary reward/loss task that parses anticipatory and outcome components during functional magnetic resonance imaging. Differences in regional activation were investigated in BED, OB, and LC groups during reward/loss prospect, anticipation, and notification. …”

Erythropoietin reduces neural and cognitive processing of fear in human models of antidepressant drug action. by Miskowiak, K, O'Sullivan, U, Harmer, C
