Nodes of the default mode network implicated in the quality of empathic respons...
Oliveira-Silva, Patrícia; Maia, Liliana; Coutinho, Joana T.; Moreno, Ana Filipa; Penalba, Lucia; Frank, Brandon; Soares, José Miguel; Sampaio, AdrianaThe ability to empathize with another person's inner experience is believed to be a central element of our social interactions. Previous research has focused on cognitive (e.g., theory of mind) and emotional (e.g., emotional contagion) empathy, and less on behavioral factors (i.e., the ability to respond empathically). Recent studies suggest that the Default Mode Network (DMN) mediates individual variability in...

Empathy by default: correlates in the brain at rest
Silva, Patrícia Oliveira; Maia, Liliana; Coutinho, Joana; Frank, Brandon; Soares, José Miguel; Sampaio, Adriana; Gonçalves, ÓscarBackground: Empathy, defi ned as the ability to access and respond to the inner world of another person, is a multidimensional construct involving cognitive, emotional and self-regulatory mechanisms. Neuroimaging studies report that empathy recruits brain regions which are part of the social cognition network. Among the different resting state networks, the Default Mode Network (DMN) may be of particular intere...

Inferior frontal gyrus white matter abnormalities in obsessive-compulsive disorder
Gonçalves, Óscar F.; Sousa, Sónia; Maia, Liliana Filipa Costa; Carvalho, Sandra Conceição Ribeiro; Leite, Jorge; Ganho, Ana; Gonçalves, Ana FernandesThe aim of the present study is to explore obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)-related abnormalities in white matter connectivity in OCD for a core region associated with inhibitory control [i.e. inferior frontal gyrus (IFG)]. Fifteen patients with OCD (11 men) and 15 healthy controls (nine men) underwent diffusion tensor imaging scanning to study four diffusivity indexes of white matter integrity [fractional a...
Brain activation of the defensive and appetitive survival systems in obsessive ...
Gonçalves, Óscar F.; Soares, José Miguel; Carvalho, Sandra; Leite, Jorge; Gonçalves, Ana Fernandes; Frank, Brandon; Pocinho, Margarida; Relvas, JoãoSeveral studies have shown that basic emotions are responsible for a significant enhancement of early visual processes and increased activation in visual processing brain regions. It may be possible that the cognitive uncertainty and repeated behavioral checking evident in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is due to the existence of abnormalities in basic survival circuits, particularly those associated with ...
