Friendliness is essential for the development of stable interpersonal relationships. Video communication is growing rapidly in popularity for initiating and maintaining personal relationships, but it is unknown if video communication is as effective as face-to-face communication for promoting friendliness. This study compared the development of subjective friendliness between video and face-to-face communication sessions and investigated the associated neural correlates.

- The study investigates whether a single session of focused attention meditation (FAM) can prevent state fatigue in healthy participants and examines the underlying neural mechanisms using resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI).
- Participants were randomly assigned to either the FAM or control group and underwent brain activity assessment during a fatigue-inducing task following a brief meditation session.
- Results showed that the FAM group maintained their task performance and demonstrated different brain activity patterns, indicating that FAM may enhance neural connectivity and help mitigate state fatigue compared to the control group.
Article Synopsis
- Many studies highlight that using production, generation, and elaboration can significantly boost memory retention, especially when multiple strategies are applied together.
- This study focused on whether pairing production with self-generated elaboration further enhances memory compared to using them individually, involving 23 college students.
- Results showed that the best memory performance came from combining production and self-generated elaboration (condition "Add Aloud"), with brain imaging revealing specific areas activated during this combined encoding strategy.
Despite the significant health consequences of anxiety, the neural basis of regulation for personal anxious events is not well understood. We examined brain activity and functional connectivity during cognitive emotion regulation strategies (reappraisal and acceptance) for personal anxious events. Functional MRI (fMRI) data were obtained while 35 college students were thinking about (the control condition), reappraising, or accepting their own anxiety-provoking situations.
