The integration of negative affect, pain and cognitive control in the cingulate cortex
It has been argued that emotion, pain and cognitive control are functionally segregated in
distinct subdivisions of the cingulate cortex. However, recent observations encourage a …

[HTML][HTML] Mental training as a tool in the neuroscientific study of brain and cognitive plasticity
Although the adult brain was once seen as a rather static organ, it is now clear that the
organization of brain circuitry is constantly changing as a function of experience or learning. Yet, …
