Association of major depressive disorder with altered functional brain response during anticipation and processing of heat pain.

30 Oct 2008 CONTEXT: Chronic pain and depression are highly comorbid conditions, yet little is known about the neurobiological basis of pain processing in major depressive disorder (MDD). OBJECTIVE: To examine the neural substrates underlying anticipation and ... Read more...

Hypothalamic orexins/hypocretins as regulators of breathing.

30 Sep 2008 It was suggested half a century ago that electrical impulses from the lateral hypothalamic area stimulate breathing. It is now emerging that these effects may be mediated, at least in part, by neurons containing orexin neuropeptides (also known as ... Read more...

Neural response to self- and other referential praise and criticism in generalized social phobia.

29 Sep 2008 CONTEXT: Generalized social phobia (GSP) is characterized by fear/avoidance of social situations. Previous studies have examined the neural responses in GSP to one class of social stimuli, facial expressions. However, studies have not examined the ... Read more...
