“…Shackman et al reported that negative affect and cognitive control are anatomically and functionally integrated in the aMCC (Shackman et al 2011). The aMCC is enhanced by fear (surrogating measure; skin conductance) (Vogt et al 2003). Interestingly, involvement of the aMCC during forgiveness, which is essentially the opposite of hostility, may reflect the homeostatic function of the decision-making processes that allow an individual to re-establish a subjective emotional balance following a hurtful interpersonal event (Ricciardi et al 2013).…”

The anterior midcingulate cortex as a neural node underlying hostility in young adults

Anger typically manifests for only a short period of time, whereas hostility is present for a longer duration. However, both of these emotions are associated with an increased likelihood of psychological problems. The nodes within the neural networks that underlie hostility remain unclear. We presumed that specific nodes might include the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC), which seems to be essential for the cognitive aspects of hostility. Thus, the present study first evaluated the associations between regional gray matter density (rGMD) and hostility in 777 healthy young students (433 men and 344 women; 20.7 ± 1.8 years of age) using magnetic resonance imaging and the hostile behaviors subscale (HBS) of the Coronary-prone Type Scale (CTS) for Japanese populations. The HBS scores were positively correlated with rGMD in the aMCC and in widespread frontal regions from the dorsomedial/dorsolateral prefrontal cortices to the lateral premotor cortex at the whole-brain level. No significant correlation was observed between rGMD and the conjunction of HBS and Trait Anger/Anger-Out scores. Furthermore, no significant interaction effects of sex and HBS scores on rGMD were revealed, although the HBS scores of males were significantly higher than those of females. The present findings indicate that the neural correlates of hostility appear to be more distinct in rGMD than those of anger due to differences and duration.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00429-016-1200-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The term dorsal ACC (dACC) is based only on a rough estimate from brain imaging studies (Procyk et al 2016). Accordingly, use of a validated terminology is necessary, and a regional model by Vogt et al (2003) is the standard (Procyk et al 2016). The aMCC is often referred to as the dACC, but we use the term aMCC.…”

“…In the present study, the Type A score of patients with T2D was similar to the score reported in the general population. Indeed, various studies indicated that the Bortner score in the general population is around 175: Bucik et al found an average Bortner score of 175 in 743 people (28) and another study in 2012 found an average score of 167 in 50 healthy subjects (29). In the present study, however, the mean Type A score for the T1D group (188) was significantly higher than the mean Type A score of the general population, suggesting that T1D patients have a more pronounced Type A profile than both T2D patients and the general population.…”

Objective The Type A personality, characterized by impatience, strong career ambition and competitiveness, is associated with greater sensitivity to external stress. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an auto-immune disease, which is potentially influenced by stress, unlike type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to assess whether individuals with T1D and T2D exhibited significant differences on the Type A personality scale. We also assessed personality in patients with thyroid auto-immune diseases to validate potential links between auto-immune disease and Type A personality. Design and methods The Bortner questionnaire was used to assess Type A personality in 188 patients with T1D, 430 patients with T2D and 85 patients with auto-immune thyroid disease (Graves’ disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). Results Type A Bortner scores were significantly higher in T1D patients than in T2D patients (188 ± 34 vs 177 ± 36, P < 0.0001). Patients with auto-immune thyroid diseases and T1D patients had similar Type A Bortner scores (189 ± 33 vs 188 ± 34, P = 0.860). Conclusion Patients with auto-immune T1D have higher Type A scores than T2D patients. Furthermore, patients with auto-immune thyroid disease also have elevated Type A scores similar to those observed in type 1 diabetes, suggesting that an elevated Type A score in T1D is potentially related to its auto-immune origin. This suggests a possible link between Type A personality and auto-immune diseases via stress-triggering psychobiological pathways. The different personality score between T1D and T2D is an important factor, which could influence self-care coping strategies in diabetes and long-term prognosis.
