Objective: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is associated with altered brain function related to processing of negative emotions. To investigate neural correlates of negative valence in OCD, we pooled functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 633 individuals with OCD and 453 healthy control participants from 16 studies using different negatively valenced tasks across the ENIGMA (Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis) Consortium's OCD Working Group.
Methods: Participant data were processed uniformly using HALFpipe, to extract voxelwise participant-level statistical images of one common first-level contrast: negative versus neutral stimuli. In preregistered analyses, parameter estimates were entered into Bayesian multilevel models to examine whole-brain and regional effects of OCD and its clinically relevant features-symptom severity, age of onset, and medication status.
Results: We provided a proof of concept that participant-level data can be combined across several task paradigms and observed one common task activation pattern across individuals with OCD and control participants that encompasses frontolimbic and visual areas implicated in negative valence. Compared with control participants, individuals with OCD showed very strong evidence of weaker activation of the bilateral occipital cortex (P+ < 0.001) and adjacent visual processing regions during negative valence processing that was related to greater OCD severity, late onset of the disorder, and an unmedicated status. Individuals with OCD also showed stronger activation in the orbitofrontal, subgenual anterior cingulate, and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (all P+ < 0.1) that was related to greater OCD severity and late onset.
Conclusions: In the first mega-analysis of this kind, we replicated previous findings of stronger ventral prefrontal activation in OCD during negative valence processing and highlight the lateral occipital cortex as an important region implicated in altered negative valence processing.

Questionnaire measures of negative emotional eating (NEE) have been associated with elevated body mass index (BMI). Relatively fewer studies have examined positive emotional eating (PEE), which report that PEE is associated with lower BMI or is not associated with BMI. To examine whether NEE and PEE are linked to BMI, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that used the Emotional Appetite Questionnaire (EMAQ) and the Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale (SEES), which assess change in eating associated with positive and negative emotions, and measured BMI in adults with a range of BMIs.

Single-atom catalysts revolutionize catalysis by maximizing atomic efficiency and enhancing reaction specificity, offering high activity and selectivity with minimal material usage, which is crucial for sustainable processes. However, the unique properties that distinguish single-atom catalysts from other forms, including bulk and nanoparticle catalysts, as well as the physical mechanisms behind their high activity and selectivity, remain unclear, limiting their broader application. Here, through first-principles calculations, we have identified an environmentally adaptive gold single-atom catalyst on a CeO(111) surface capable of adjusting its valence state in response to different environmental conditions.

People often experience positive emotions during predominantly negative stressors, and we hypothesize that one way this occurs is that people make positive appraisals of some elements of the stressors. Further, we hypothesized that people can use these positive appraisals to spontaneously and/or strategically regulate their stress responses. In several studies with online and subject pool convenience samples, participants were able to generate unambiguously positive appraisals (as defined in pilot Studies 2 and 3) of elements of predominantly negative stressors both when instructed to generate positive appraisals (Study 1) and when instructed to just list elements of their stressors with no instruction on what valence they should be (Studies 3-6).
