We adapted the computer game TETRIS to investigate the process of affective-motivational counter-regulation, that is, attentional biases for emotional stimuli that are in opposition to the momentary motivational focus. Counter-regulation is seen as ...

An assessment of interactions between global health initiatives and country health systems.
18 Jun 2009 Since 2000, the emergence of several large disease-specific global health initiatives (GHIs) has changed the way in which international donors provide assistance for public health. Some critics have claimed that these initiatives burden health ...

Reproductive health assessment for women with cancer: a pilot study.
16 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to pilot a survey instrument and to develop descriptive data about the reproductive goals of reproductive-aged women (15-44 years) with cancer. STUDY DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional pilot survey study of ...

Motivational states activate distinct hippocampal representations to guide goal-directed behaviors.
13 Jun 2009 Adaptive behaviors are guided by motivation and memory. Motivational states specify goals, and memory can inform motivated behavior by providing detailed records of past experiences when goals were obtained. These 2 fundamental processes interact to ...

Role of the opioid system in incentive downshift situations.
12 Jun 2009 Previous research has shown that opioid blockage enhances consummatory successive negative contrast (cSNC)-a suppression of consummatory behavior following a downshift from 32% to 4% sucrose solution. In Experiment 1, administration of the ...

Understanding others' actions and goals by mirror and mentalizing systems: a meta-analysis.
9 Jun 2009 This meta-analysis explores the role of the mirror and mentalizing systems in the understanding of other people's action goals. Based on over 200 fMRI studies, this analysis demonstrates that the mirror system - consisting of the anterior ...

Neural bases of goal-directed implicit learning.
9 Jun 2009 Several neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies have been performed to clarify the neural bases of implicit learning, but the question of which brain regions are involved in different forms of implicit learning, including goal-directed learning ...

Dynamic encoding of responses and outcomes by neurons in medial prefrontal cortex.
8 Jun 2009 Medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) both contribute to goal-directed behavior, but their precise role remains unclear. Several lines of evidence suggest that MPFC is more important than LPFC for outcome-guided ...

6 Jun 2009 It is hypothesized that a central role of the vertebrate hippocampal formation (HF) in behavior is the learning and operation of a map-like representation of familiar landmarks and landscape features. One critical property of a map is that it should ...

Goals, intentions and mental states: challenges for theories of autism.
3 Jun 2009 The ability to understand the goals and intentions behind other people's actions is central to many social interactions. Given the profound social difficulties seen in autism, we might expect goal understanding to be impaired in these individuals. ...
