Cerebellar Asymmetry of Motivational Direction: Anger-Dependent Effects of Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Aggression in Healthy Volunteers.

It has recently been theorized that the frontal asymmetry of approach- and avoidance-related motivation is mirrored in the posterolateral cerebellum. Accordingly, left-to-right dominant cerebellar activity is associated with avoidance-related motivation, whereas right-to-left dominant cerebellar activity is associated with approach-related motivation. The aim of this study was to examine the cerebellar asymmetry of motivational direction in approach-related behavior in the context of aggression.

Increased endorsement of TRIPOD and other reporting guidelines by high impact factor journals: survey of instructions to authors.

Objectives: To assess the endorsement of reporting guidelines by high impact factor journals over the period 2017-2022, with a specific focus on the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) statement.

Study Design And Setting: We searched the online 'instructions to authors' of high impact factor medical journals in February 2017 and in January 2022 for any reference to reporting guidelines and TRIPOD in particular.

Results: In 2017, 205 out of 337 (61%) journals mentioned any reporting guideline in their instructions to authors and in 2022 this increased to 245 (73%) journals.

The human cerebellum in reward anticipation and outcome processing: An activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis.

The cerebellum generates internal prediction models and actively compares anticipated and actual outcomes in order to reach a desired end state. In this process, reward can serve as a reinforcer that shapes internal prediction models, enabling context-appropriate behavior. While the involvement of the cerebellum in reward processing has been established in animals, there is no detailed account of which cerebellar regions are involved in reward anticipation and outcome processing in humans.

Simulated late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging dataset from mechanical XCAT phantom including a myocardial infarct.

The late enhanced magnetic resonance image dataset in this article is simulated using a mechanistic cardiac phantom that includes an myocardial infarct. Settings of the image simulation pipeline are adjusted such that high- and low-resolution images, with and without slice alignment artifacts, are simulated. Our article on the influence of image artifacts on image-based models of the cardiac electrophysiology is based on this data (Kruithof et al.

Influence of image artifacts on image-based computer simulations of the cardiac electrophysiology.

Myocardial infarct patients have an increased risk of scar-based ventricular tachycardia. Late gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides the geometric extent of myocardial infarct. Computational electrophysiological models based on such images can provide a personalized prediction of the patient's tachycardia risk.
