Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we found an area in the fusiform gyrus in 12 of the 15 subjects tested that was significantly more acti...
As humans, we perceive feelings from our bodies that relate our state of well-being, our energy and stress levels, our mood and disposition. How do we have...

The insula is a brain structure implicated in disparate cognitive, affective, and regulatory functions, including interoceptive awareness, emotional respon...
There are many advantages to defining emotions as states elicited by reinforcers, with the states having a set of different functions. This approach leads ...

The brain circuitry processing rewarding and aversive stimuli is hypothesized to be at the core of motivated behavior. In this study, discrete categories o...
Psychologists and economists have long appreciated the contribution of reward history and expectation to decision-making. Yet we know little about how specific histories of choice and reward lead to an internal representation of the "val...
The attractiveness of a face is a highly salient social signal, influencing mate choice and other social judgements. In this study, we used event-related f...
One fundamental question concerning brain reward mechanisms is to determine how reward-related activity is influenced by the nature of rewards. Here, we re...
The thalamus, a crucial node in the well-describedcortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical circuits, has been the focus of functional and structural imaging studi...
Reproductive behavior is mandatory for conservation of species and mediated by a state of sexual arousal (SA), involving both complex mental processes and ...

SummaryDespite the well-documented importance of paternal caregiving for positive child development, little is known about the neural changes that accompan...
Studies applying structural neuroimaging to pedophiles are scarce and have shown conflicting results. Although first findings suggested reduced volume of t...
We imaged responses to sexual images in 46,XY men, 46,XX women, and 46,XY women with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS).Men showed greater amygdala act...
Background Antiandrogen therapy (ADT) has been used for 30years to treat pedophilic patients. The aim of the treatment is a reduction in sexual drive and, ...
Functional neuroimaging studies have revealed abnormal brain dynamics of male sexual arousal (SA) in psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED). However, the n...
