Decoding neural threat-reward information using high-precision MEG in humans shows that defensive cardiac states sharpen low-frequency value representations in dorsal anterior cingulate cortex during ...

Recent adversity (RA) increases the risk of later mental health problems, but the mechanisms underlying this association remain largely unclear. Altered associative learning and specifically threat le...

Stress disrupts inference by reducing hippocampal reactivation of related content and differentiating overlapping events.

This cohort study compared the prevalence of neurological comorbidities among people with functional neurological disorder versus those with epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.

The ability to recognize and anticipate potential danger is crucial for survival across species. The midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) is implicated in regulating threat-anticipatory responses, in...

Speech comprehension relies on predictive mechanisms, but models disagree on whether the brain prioritizes expected or unexpected information. This study shows that sharpening of sensory representatio...

Nature Communications - Control over pain changes how intense it is perceived. Here, the authors show that this effect results from increased expectation precision with control, which changes...

Developments in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at ultra-high field (UHF) now allow for insights into human brain function at mesoscopic scale. However, similar progress has not been achi...

Der Neurowissenschaftler Simon Hofmann untersucht, wie künstliche Intelligenz in der Medizin zum Einsatz kommen kann.
