Abstract It is a central tenet of attachment theory that individual differences in representations organize behavior during social interactions. Secure also facilitate behavioral synchrony, key component adaptive parent–child Yet, the dynamic neural processes underlying these interactions and potential role remain largely unknown. A growing body research indicates interpersonal synchrony (INS) could be neurobiological correlate high interaction relationship quality. In this study, we examined whether associated with parent child representations. total, 140 parents (74 mothers 66 fathers) their children (age 5–6 years; 60 girls 80 boys) engaged cooperative versus problem‐solving.

Applications and advances of combined fMRI-fNIRs techniques in brain functional research

Frontiers in Neurology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16

Опубликована: Март 18, 2025

Understanding the intricate functions of human brain requires multimodal approaches that integrate complementary neuroimaging techniques. This review systematically examines integration functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) in research, addressing their synergistic potential, methodological advancements, clinical neuroscientific applications, persistent challenges. We conducted a comprehensive literature 63 studies (from PubMed Web Science up to September 2024) using keyword combinations such as fMRI, fNIRs, imaging. Our analysis reveals three key findings: (1) Methodological Synergy: Combining fMRI's high spatial resolution with fNIRs's superior temporal portability enables robust spatiotemporal mapping neural activity, validated across motor, cognitive, tasks. Additionally, this study experimental paradigms data processing techniques essential for effective neuroimaging. (2) Applications: The categorizes methodologies into synchronous asynchronous detection modes, highlighting respective applications localization, validation efficacy, mechanism discovery. Synchronous modes have advanced research neurological disorders (e.g., stroke, Alzheimer's), social cognition, neuroplasticity, while novel hyperscanning extend naturalistic, interactive settings. (3) Challenges: Hardware incompatibilities electromagnetic interference MRI environments), limitations restricted motion paradigms), fusion complexities hinder widespread adoption. future direction emphasizes hardware innovation (such fNIR probe compatible MRI), standardized protocol driven by machine learning, etc. solve depth limitation infer subcortical activities. synthesis underscores transformative potential fMRI-fNIRs bridging gaps neuroimaging, enhancing diagnostic therapeutic strategies paving way innovations research.

Interpersonal neural synchrony and mental disorders: unlocking potential pathways for clinical interventions

Frontiers in Neuroscience, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 18

Опубликована: Март 11, 2024

Introduction Interpersonal synchronization involves the alignment of behavioral, affective, physiological, and brain states during social interactions. It facilitates empathy, emotion regulation, prosocial commitment. Mental disorders characterized by interaction dysfunction, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Reactive Attachment (RAD), Social Anxiety (SAD), often exhibit atypical with others across multiple levels. With introduction “second-person” neuroscience perspective, our understanding interpersonal neural (INS) has improved, however, so far, it hardly impacted development novel therapeutic interventions. Methods To evaluate potential INS-based treatments for mental disorders, we performed two systematic literature searches identifying studies that directly target INS through neurofeedback (12 publications; 9 independent studies) or stimulation techniques (7 studies), following PRISMA guidelines. In addition, narratively review indirect manipulations biofeedback, hormonal We discuss ASD, RAD, SAD using a database search assess acceptability (4 neurostimulation in patients dysfunction. Results Although behavioral approaches, engaging eye contact cooperative actions, have been shown to be associated increased INS, little is known about long-term consequences Few proof-of-concept utilized techniques, like transcranial direct current neurofeedback, showing feasibility preliminary evidence interventions can boost synchrony connectedness. Yet, optimal protocols parameters are still undefined. For SAD, far no randomized controlled trial proven efficacy intervention although general methods seem well accepted these patient groups. Discussion Significant work remains translate into effective disorders. Future research should focus on mechanistic insights technological advancements, rigorous design standards.

Unraveling emotional regulation through multimodal neuroimaging techniques

Brainbridge, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 1(1), С. 1 - 26

Опубликована: Май 30, 2024

Neuroimaging techniques have significantly advanced our understanding of emotional regulation by elucidating the neural mechanisms involved. This review synthesizes findings across multiple modalities—functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Electroencephalography (EEG), Magnetoencephalography (MEG), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Spectroscopy (MRS)—to highlight key insights into processing. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), amygdala, hippocampus, insula emerge as critical brain regions in regulating emotions. fMRI studies demonstrate increased PFC activity decreased amygdala responses during effective emotion regulation, indicating top-down control mechanisms. EEG MEG provide temporal dynamics responses, capturing rapid changes tasks. PET MRS reveal neurochemical basis emphasizing roles neurotransmitters like serotonin dopamine. Integration multimodal approaches, such fMRI-EEG fMRI-PET, enhances combining spatial, temporal, specificity. Challenges include methodological limitations need for diverse participant samples to improve generalizability. Future research should focus on improving spatial resolution, adopting longitudinal ecologically valid designs, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. These advancements hold promise developing personalized interventions treatments disorders leveraging neuroimaging biomarkers underpinnings regulation.

Voluntary and involuntary motor behaviours in the varieties of religious experience

Religion is a widespread feature of human life. Religions typically include both distinctive varieties experience and also set foundational beliefs. An additional, but often overlooked, part many religions their expression through specific actions, which we here designate religious motor behaviours. Here describe these behaviours offer taxonomy based on the conceptual schemes movement neuroscience neurology. Thus, rituals characterized by decreased output (e.g. ritualistic silence) increased ritual dances). Neurology distinguishes between movements that are experienced as voluntary or involuntary. We show this same distinction can apply to experiences, since may be either heightened sense personal control being controlled an external, divine source. then use structures investigate examples from wide range contexts. thereby categorize into different classes, focusing examples: repetitive actions; where volition altered, such automatisms; possession-like states. suggest scientific approach should predominant phenomenological presentation, accompanying subjective underlying neurocognitive mechanisms. This investigation shows rich parallels observed in neurological disorders, including those present with functional symptoms. Our does not pathologize behaviours, rather draws attention non-clinical phenomena highlights important social, cultural psychological elements control.
