Motor-Related Cortical Oscillations Distinguish One's Own from a Partner's Contributions to a Joint Action
Biol Psychol. 2024 Apr 24:108804. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108804. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ability to distinguish between one's own and others' actions is a requirement for successful joint action. Such a distinction might be supported by dissociable motor activity underlying each partner's individual contributions to the joint action. However, little research has directly compared motor activity associated with one's own vs. others' actions during joint action. The current study investigated whether motor-related cortical oscillations distinguish between self- and partner-produced actions when partners take...

The influence of false interoceptive feedback on emotional state and balance responses to height-induced postural threat
Biol Psychol. 2024 Apr 23:108803. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108803. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPostural threat elicits a robust emotional response (e.g., fear and anxiety about falling), with concomitant modifications in balance. Recent theoretical accounts propose that emotional responses to postural threats are manifested, in part, from the conscious monitoring and appraisal of bodily signals ('interoception'). Here, we empirically probe the role of interoception in shaping emotional responses to a postural threat by experimentally manipulating interoceptive cardiac feedback. Sixty young adults completed a single ...

Coping and Empowerment Preventive Intervention Buffers Early Adolescent Neuroendocrine-Related Risk for Internalizing Problems
Biol Psychol. 2024 Apr 17:108802. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108802. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is an absence of mechanism-driven interventions equipped to reduce the large mental health disparities that exist for preadolescent youth living in poverty. Building a Strong Identity and Coping Skills (BaSICS) is a preventive intervention designed to target multiple aspects of poverty-related stress adaptation, including altered neuroendocrine function. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether pre-post shifts in preadolescent hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activation could longitudinally predict...

Brain Oscillations during Emotion Regulation and the Two-dimensional Model of Adult Attachment
In this study, we explored the neural underpinnings of ER, focusing on two distinct strategies: cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Using electroencephalography (EEG), we examined changes in neural oscillations from 52 adults during an ER task. Specifically, we observed increased frontal theta activity (3-6Hz) during reappraisal compared to suppression strategies. This frontal theta activity suggests enhanced cognitive control engagement. Conversely, during suppression, we noted a decrease in beta frequency (15-30Hz) activity from central electrodes, indicative of differing neural processes. Further integrati...

Emerging effects of temperature on human cognition, affect, and behaviour
Biol Psychol. 2024 Apr 8;189:108791. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108791. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHuman body core temperature is tightly regulated within approximately 37 °C. Global near surface temperature has increased by over 1.2 °C between 1850 and 2020. In light of the challenge this poses to human thermoregulation, the present perspective article sought to provide an overview on the effects of varying ambient and body temperature on cognitive, affective, and behavioural domains of functioning. To this end, an overview of observational and experimental studies in healthy individuals and individuals with menta...
