This study uses ISRSA to show state anxiety modulates extrastriate cortex activity in response to emotional images, revealing a brain-behavior association through multivariate analysis.

The paper examines neural synchronization in the default mode network during the appearance of protagonists and antagonists in movies, finding higher synchronization in the inferior frontal gyrus and orbitofrontal cortex for protagonists.

The paper identifies a cortical thickness topography in adolescents associated with generalized anxiety symptoms using inter-subject representational similarity analysis.

The paper shows that grit in teenagers is linked to similar functional connectome architecture across individuals and stability within individuals.

The paper compares meta-analysis maps (MAMs) of emotion categories with individual contrast maps (ICMs) from task fMRI data to identify affective processes related to threat-related facial expressions.

This study identifies brain connectivity patterns associated with trait anger using a large sample and connectome-wide analysis, finding hyperconnectivity in action-related regions.

The paper investigates how amygdala activity integrates contextual cues with facial expressions to determine valence, finding that amygdalostriatal coupling supports positive but not negative affective integration.

This study finds that higher maternal overprotection in childhood is linked to increased amygdala reactivity to explicit threat signals and reduced structural integrity of the uncinate fasciculus in young adulthood.

The paper examines how white matter microstructural integrity moderates the link between childhood adversity and adult trait anger using diffusion MRI data.

This paper introduces General Functional Connectivity (GFC) to improve reliability and heritability of intrinsic connectivity estimates by combining resting-state and task fMRI data.

The paper examines how structural features of the corticolimbic circuit moderate the link between childhood adversity and trait anxiety in young adults.

The paper examines how subtle variations in caregiving, specifically familial affective responsiveness, influence amygdala reactivity to interpersonal threat in adolescents, revealing paradoxical associations with stress levels.

The paper identifies two trajectories of alcohol use initiation in adolescents and links early initiation to increased risk of AUD, stress, and amygdala reactivity.
