Coulda, woulda, shoulda: fMRI reveals neuroanatomy of regret
By Shalmali Pal
For most of us regret is all too familiar, an emotion that arises when we make a choice that turns out to be disadvantageous. But what is the specific brain change that takes place when we experience regret? French and British researchers used functional MRI (fMRI) to find an answer.

PET shows therapy can alter opioid receptors in bulimics
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
TORONTO - The use of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), the application of cognitive psychotherapy to change thinking patterns combined with behavior therapy to modify the connections between situation and reaction, in patients with bulimia nervosa results in increased mu-opioid receptor (mu-OR) binding, according to a presentation Sunday at the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) meeting.

Racial profiling: fMRI links brain activity and black-white bias
By Shalmali Pal
A variety of factors help determine how we each feel about, and react to, people of different ethnicities. These factors are closely tied to a neurological reaction that may determine our emotional response to race -- whether we are conscious of it or not. A number of recent neuroimaging studies have investigated the connection between our brains and race processing.

Neuroimaging study bolsters genetic basis for feeling down
By Shalmali Pal
Even on a genetic level, people who suffer from depression may be shouldering a heavy burden. First, they are carriers of a brain anomaly that makes them prone to the disorder. Second, parts of their brain may be stuck in a neurochemical loop, thwarting the ability to regulate negative emotions. Neuroscientists used multiple imaging modalities to study this genetic connection between anatomy, function, and emotion.
