Article Abstract

Emotion dynamics, which describe affective patterns over time, may illustrate how specific emotion regulation difficulties manifest in daily life. However, limited research links emotion regulation with emotion dynamics assessed naturalistically. In two samples, 62 and 304 university students completed the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale then completed ecological momentary assessments of positive and negative affect thrice daily for seven and 14 days, respectively, to examine mean positive and negative affect, affective variability, affective instability, and emotional inertia. Self-reported emotion regulation difficulties broadly correlated with elevated mean negative affect and lower positive affect. However, no specific association of an emotion regulation difficulty with affective variability, instability, or inertia replicated across samples. Further research is needed with diverse methodologies to explore how in situ emotion dynamics reflect emotion regulation difficulties.

Importance: Research in behavioral economics has demonstrated that people have irrational biases, which make them susceptible to decisional shortcuts, or heuristics. The extent to which physicians consciously might use nudges to exploit these heuristics and thereby influence their patients' decision-making is unclear. In addition, ethical questions about the conscious use of nudges in medicine persist, yet little is known about how physicians experience and perceive their use.

Sleep is a significant factor influencing both physical and mental health. It supports thinking, emotional regulation, and vitality. However, insomnia is still a common problem, often linked to complex factors like psychological vulnerability and early life experiences.

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels of depression. This observational study investigates blood oxygenation level-dependent LRTC changes alongside therapy-induced language and mood improvements in perisylvian and domain-general brain areas.

Hypocretin: a promising target for the regulation of homeostasis.

Front Neurosci

Beijing Life Science Academy, Beijing, China.

Hypocretin, also known as orexin, is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates essential physiological processes including arousal, energy metabolism, feeding behavior, and emotional states. Through widespread projections and two G-protein-coupled receptors-HCRT-1R and HCRT-2R-the hypocretin system exerts diverse modulatory effects across the central nervous system. The role of hypocretin in maintaining wakefulness is well established, particularly in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), where loss of hypocretin neurons leads to excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy.

Background: Previous studies indicate that hippocampal (subfield) and amygdala volumes may correlate with specific cognitive functions, coping strategies and emotion regulation. Here, we investigated associations between emotional processing and volumes of hippocampal subfields and amygdala. We focused on depressed patients since emotional dysregulation and hippocampal volume shrinkage are characteristic of them.
