“…The worse circumstance is when both players betray each other, which results in loss of resources for both players. Others presented participants with personal embarrassing‐norm violation stories (Berthoz et al, ), sentences about moral depravity (Takahashi et al, ), scenarios with norm‐violations (Denke et al, ), picture evaluation task with scenes with moral norm violations (Harenski and Hamann, ), norm violated behavior's scenarios (Luo et al, ), embarrassing content (Melchers et al, ), norm‐violating images (Schreiber and Iacoboni, ), a task that modulated social interaction (Yoder and Decety, ), different scenarios based on intentional and unintentional norm violation (Treadway et al, ), and a task that modulated of emotions related to social content (Wagner et al, ). Overall, 29 experiments included in this category reflect social emotions associated with norm violation.…”

Social norms have a critical role in everyday decision-making, as frequent interaction with others regulates our behavior. Neuroimaging studies show that social-based and fairness-related decision-making activates an inconsistent set of areas, which sometimes includes the anterior insula, anterior cingulate cortex, and others lateral prefrontal cortices. Social-based decision-making is complex and variability in findings may be driven by socio-cognitive activities related to social norms. To distinguish among social-cognitive activities related to social norms, we identified 36 eligible articles in the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) literature, which we separate into two categories (a) social norm representation and (b) norm violations. The majority of original articles (>60%) used tasks associated with fairness norms and decision-making, such as ultimatum game, dictator game, or prisoner's dilemma; the rest used tasks associated to violation of moral norms, such as scenarios and sentences of moral depravity ratings. Using quantitative meta-analyses, we report common and distinct brain areas that show concordance as a function of category. Specifically, concordance in ventromedial prefrontal regions is distinct to social norm representation processing, whereas concordance in right insula, dorsolateral prefrontal, and dorsal cingulate cortices is distinct to norm violation processing. We propose a neurocognitive model of social norms for healthy adults, which could help guide future research in social norm compliance and mechanisms of its enforcement.

“…We defined the rIFG using an approach that is sensitive to individual variability as previously described in the literature . For our data, results of the one‐sample t ‐test for the StopSuccess > GoSuccess activation maps showed robust activation within the rIFG ROI with the group maxima located at x = 52, y = 28, z = 30.…”

Objective: Dimensions of impulsivity are related to obesity. Accordingly, characterization of impulsivity in individuals with overweight and obesity holds promise for more targeted and effective intervention. Methods: Forty-five individuals (13 males, mean age 5 32.6, mean body mass index [BMI] 5 30.7) were recruited to determine the role of impulsivity in elevated body weight by evaluating: (1) trait impulsivity via impulsive sensation-seeking scale (ImpSS), (2) state impulsivity via continuous performance test, and (3) activation and integration of brain cognitive control regions via functional magnetic resonance imaging during a response inhibition task (i.e., stop signal task). Results: Positive correlations were found between BMI and trait (ImpSS) as well as state impulsivity (continuous performance test, b). BMI was negatively correlated with regional activation in the temporal lobe and insula during successful response inhibition. Further, there was a positive association between BMI and functional connectivity between the right inferior frontal gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus during successful response inhibition. Mediation analyses revealed that ImpSS mediated the relationship between BMI and neural response in the right inferior frontal gyrus. Conclusions: This multimodal study provides concordant evidence for behavioral, cognitive, and neural markers of impulsivity and elevated BMI, highlighting the need to address inhibitory control mechanisms for more effective weight management programs.

“…Based on current studies, the rectus gyrus is considered to be linked with the recovery of consciousness 45,46 and dynamical emotion processing. 47 Superior frontal gyrus has similar functions as OFC and middle temporal gyrus, which also is an important region related to cognition, social learning and painful experience. 34 A metaanalysis demonstrated that patients with Alzheimer's disease and mid-cognitive impairment had compensatory activity in superior frontal gyrus and medial temporal gyrus.…”

Objective: Chronic shoulder pain (CSP) is a common health problem associated with shoulder dysfunction and persistent pain for many different reasons. However, the studies of pain-related functional brain regions in CSP have been poorly investigated. The main purpose of our study was to observe whether there are abnormal functional changes in brain regions in patients with CSP by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Patients and Methods:We compared the differences of brain regions between 37 patients with CSP and 24 healthy controls (HC) using regional homogeneity (ReHo) method. The patients with chronic shoulder pain and healthy controls were matched for age and gender. Brain regions which had abnormal ReHo values were defined as seed region of interests. The approach of seed-based functional connectivity (FC) was further performed to analyze the connectivity between the seeds and whole brain regions. The relationship between abnormal regions and current clinical pain was also evaluated. Results: Compared to healthy controls, the patients with CSP showed increased ReHo values in the left middle temporal gyrus and decreased ReHo values in right orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). The seed-based analyses demonstrated decreased connectivity between the right OFC and right rectus, superior frontal gyrus in patients with chronic shoulder pain. However, a correlation between ReHo values and clinical characteristics in CSP patients was not found. Conclusion: The observed results indicate that there are abnormal ReHo values in brain regions of patients with CSP, especially in the OFC and middle temporal gyrus. Our findings demonstrate that the experience of CSP patients may be mainly associated with cognitiveaffective pain processing, rather than nociception.
