Specificity, reliability and sensitivity of social brain responses during spontaneous mentalizing
(2016)Social Cognitive and Affective NeuroscienceThe debilitating effects of social dysfunction in many psychiatric disorders prompt the need for systems-level biomarkers of social abilities that can be applied in clinical populations and longitudinal studies. A promising neuroimaging approach is the animated shapes paradigm based on so-called Frith-Happé animations (FHAs) which trigger spontaneous mentalizing with minimal cognitive demands. Here, we presented FHAs during functional ...Journal Article -
Positive coping styles and perigenual ACC volume: two related mechanisms for conferring resilience?
(2016)Social Cognitive and Affective NeuroscienceStress exposure has been linked to increased rates of depression and anxiety in adults, particularly in females, and has been associated with maladaptive changes in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is an important brain structure involved in internalizing disorders. Coping styles are important mediators of the stress reaction by establishing homeostasis, and may thus confer resilience to stress-related psychopathology. Anatomical ...Journal Article
