DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24772
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that a similarity between sound and meaning of a word (i.e., iconicity) can help more readily access the meaning of that word, but the neural mechanisms underlying this beneficial role of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25904
Abstract: Traumatic experiences during childhood can have profound effects on stress sensitive brain structures (e.g., amygdala and hippocampus) and the emergence of psychiatric symptoms. Recent theoretical and empirical work has delineated dimensions of trauma (i.e., threat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-017-8649-y
Abstract: with slight hyperintensity on FLAIR (Fig. 1c), but not on diffusion-weighted images. Laboratory tests were negative for anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies and anti-voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) complexes. Routine CSF analysis was normal. Positron emission… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00702-017-1811-y
Abstract: The amygdala plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD). While robust findings support a negative impact of illness duration on hippocampal volume in MDD, morphometric studies of the amygdala have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhx330
Abstract: The amygdala plays an important role in the computation of internal reward signals. In animals it has been shown to enable a stimulus to indicate the current value of a reinforcer. However, the exact nature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.15989
Abstract: Exposures to prenatal maternal depressive symptoms (PMDS) may lead to neurodevelopmental changes in the offspring in a sex‐dependent way. Although a connection between PMDS and infant brain development has been established by earlier studies, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2022.910239
Abstract: Background Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with numerous cognitive, affective, and psychophysiological outcomes, including problems with sleep and circadian rhythms. We tested the effectiveness of a daily morning blue-light exposure treatment (BLT) versus a… read more here.
