Summary: The study revealed that rumination and non-acceptance of emotions are most closely associated with eating disorder psychopathology. Additionally, the associations between different emotion regulation strategies and symptomatology were weaker among patients with low BMI, suggesting a complex relationship between ED behaviors and emotion regulation. The findings call for interventions targeting emotion regulation, specifically rumination and difficulties accepting emotions, in the treatment of eating disorders.

Summary: Two large-scale meta-analyses of brain imaging studies were conducted to explore the brain regions involved in emotional and behavioral regulation. The results showed that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, bilateral anterior insula, and right inferior parietal lobule played crucial roles in both regulation domains. The coactivation patterns and functional characteristics of these regions were also analyzed and confirmed their involvement in self-regulation.

Summary: Past research focused on emotion regulation as resource-depleting and avoiding strategies. This paper presents an alternative view that emotion regulation can generate resources and investigates the strategy of amplifying positive emotions. Study 1 demonstrates that amplification of positive emotion is positively related to employee psychological resources and may reduce absenteeism. Study 2 shows that amplification of positive emotions predicts changes in employee psychological resources over time, beyond positive affect. Theoretical implications, practical applications, and future research directions are discussed.

Summary: People differ in their propensities to experience positive affect, with social anxiety potentially leading to increased emotional suppression and decreased positive affect. The relationship between expressive suppression and positive affect was significant overall but not for individuals with social or other anxiety disorders, with moderators such as sample culture and type of emotion suppressed explaining heterogeneity in effect sizes. Further attention to moderating variables is needed in future studies.

Summary: Emotional deficits are prominent in schizophrenia-spectrum psychopathology and are linked with poorer outcomes. Schizotypy, a personality organization that may confer vulnerability to developing schizophrenia, is associated with increased negative affect, decreased positive affect, and difficulty with emotion regulation. This study explored the role of social capitalization in schizotypy and found that higher schizotypy and not sharing positive events were associated with lower happiness and increased sadness and anxiety. When events were shared, lower schizotypy and perception of supportive/enthusiastic responses were associated with increased happiness. There were no significant interactions between schizotypy and social capitalization variables.

Summary: This study investigated the pathological interaction of sensory and cognitive function in schizophrenia and its relationship to system-level imbalance. The results revealed a compression of the cortical hierarchy organization, leading to a diminished separation between sensory and cognitive systems. Furthermore, the analysis showed reduced connectivity within unimodal regions and increased connectivity between unimodal regions and other areas. These findings suggest that disruptions in the somatosensory-motor system and inefficient integration of sensory information contribute to high-level cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.

Summary: This study investigated the association between brain functional connectivity and behavioural outcomes in children born very preterm. The results showed that the spatial organization and dynamic features of brain activity were comparable between preterm and full-term children. However, there were differences in the association between dynamic functional connectivity parameters and socio-emotional abilities between the two groups. These findings suggest a link between the maturational delay of functional architecture and socio-emotional abilities in very preterm children.

Summary: The neuropsychological deficits and brain damage following SARS-CoV-2 infection have been investigated in this study. 116 patients with different disease severities were tested for neuropsychological performance, olfactory function, completed questionnaires, and underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging. Severe patients showed poorer verbal episodic memory, while moderate patients had reduced mental flexibility. Neuroimaging revealed different patterns of functional brain connectivity alterations. The severity of the infection in the acute phase predicted the neuropsychological performance six to nine months later. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes long-term memory and executive dysfunctions related to functional brain connectivity alterations.

Summary: Despite lacking a scientific consensus, emotions are generally believed to involve modifications in the mind, body, and behavior. This study used a data-driven approach to decompose a wide range of emotions into core processes and identify their neural organization in the brain. Results showed coordinated activity across brain networks associated with different component processes, shedding light on the functional architecture of human affective experiences.

Summary: Moving from association to causal analysis of neuroimaging data is crucial to advance our understanding of brain function. An arrow-of-time (AoT)-sensitive metric is introduced to capture the intensity of causal effects in multivariate time series of high-resolution functional neuroimaging data. Causal effects underlying brain function are found to be more distinctly localized in space and time than functional activity or connectivity, allowing for tracing neural pathways recruited in different conditions. Overall, a mapping of the causal brain is provided, challenging the association paradigm of brain function.

Summary: This study found that there are differences in the dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) of the hippocampus in bipolar disorder (BD) patients compared to healthy controls. The bilateral hippocampal dFC with the somatomotor networks (SMN) was reduced in BD, while the dFC between the left hippocampus and the midcingulo-insular salience system (SN) was higher. The dFC between the bilateral hippocampus and the default mode network (DMN) correlated with depression scores in BD. Pathological hyperconnectivity between the DMN, SMN, and frontoparietal network (FPN) was also modulated by depression scores in BD. Overall, this study provides insights into the neural architecture underlying BD and suggests that dFC markers may improve detection and treatment of BD patients.

Summary: Film functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become popular in many areas of neuroscience, but the field of affective neuroscience has been slower to adopt this approach. This article discusses the advantages of using film fMRI for emotion research and provides a general guide for conducting such studies. It gives an overview of emotion theories and how they inform experimental design choices, and discusses the use of films as experimental paradigms for eliciting emotions and the process of annotating them. The article also compares film fMRI to other fMRI approaches and summarizes the results of previous studies on the advantages of film fMRI. It includes an overview of state-of-the-art analysis techniques, including methods that probe neurodynamics, as well as the limitations of using film fMRI to study emotion.
