This investigation covered the disgust and fear reactivity of patients suffering from spider phobia. We analyzed event-related brain potentials and affective responses to pictures depicting spiders, as well as generally fear-inducing, disgust-inducing, ...

Aims: The results of our pilot study suggested that one session of high frequency rTMS applied over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) might induce measurable positive effects on executive functioning in patients with mild cognitive ...

There is broad evidence for a functional interaction between the cardiovascular and pain regulatory systems. One result of this interaction is the reduced sensitivity to acute pain in individuals with elevated blood pressure, which has been established in ...

The major goals of this study were (1) to determine consistency of autonomic response modes to different laboratory stressors, and (2) to evaluate the strength of the association between autonomic response modes and ambulatory heart rate and variability. ...

Temporal and brain topographic characteristics of the aesthetic judgment of male and female faces were investigated, using event-related potentials and reaction times. The evaluative aesthetic judgment of facial beauty (beautiful vs. not beautiful) was ...

Gender differences in cardiovascular variables in response to laboratory stressors have been described. In real situations, although occupational stress is considered one of the major causes of cardiovascular diseases, there are few studies that follow a ...
