Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatic, University of Regensburg, Universitatsstrasse 84, D 93053 Regensburg, Germany
Prog Brain Res 156:457-66. 2006..It is suggested that dysfunctions in the frontal cortex, especially the orbitofrontal cortex, the cingulate cortex and the amygdala are associated with the emotional and cognitive impairments...- Neural correlates of true and false belief reasoningMonika Sommer
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Neuroimage 35:1378-84. 2007..Additionally we found common patterns of activation for true and false belief reasoning, including inferior parietal and precuneus activation, but we found no activation of the MPFC or the TPJ in general belief reasoning... - Emotion-dependent modulation of interference processes: an fMRI studyMonika Sommer
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars) 68:193-203. 2008..The results first showed that especially the processing of negative emotions is resource competing and secondly that the competition concerns only the controlled route of cognitive processing... - Decoding of affective facial expressions in the context of emotional situationsMonika Sommer
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Neuropsychologia 46:2615-21. 2008..Furthermore, the involvement of the amygdala in the ToM precursor ability to link facial expressions with an emotional situation may indicate that the amygdala is involved in the development of stable ToM abilities... - [The role of emotions in psychopathology]Monika Sommer
Klinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie der Universität Regensburg am Bezirksklinikum
Psychiatr Prax 31:S64-5. 2004..In the present study, functional fMRI was used to test the influence of induced emotions on a non-affective, attention-demanding, cognitive task... - In psychopathic patients emotion attribution modulates activity in outcome-related brain areasMonika Sommer
University Medical Center Regensburg, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Universitatsstrasse 84, Regensburg, Germany

Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Brain Res 1354:123-31. 2010..These results implicate modulation of the cortical network that underlies false belief reasoning during development and far beyond the time children successfully master false belief tasks... - Functional activity of the right temporo-parietal junction and of the medial prefrontal cortex associated with true and false belief reasoningKatrin Döhnel
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Neuroimage 60:1652-61. 2012..False over true belief reasoning induced activation in the posterior MPFC (pMPFC), supporting its role in the decoupling mechanisms, which is defined as processing a mental state independently of the state of reality... - Neural correlates of emotional working memory in patients with mild cognitive impairmentKatrin Döhnel
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Universitatsstrasse 84, D 93053 Regensburg, Germany
Neuropsychologia 46:37-48. 2008..This increase in precuneus activity, combined with a behavioural facilitation effect, may indicate a mechanism to compensate disease related processes in aMCI... - Common and distinct neural networks for false-belief reasoning and inhibitory controlChristoph Rothmayr
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University Medical Center Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Neuroimage 56:1705-13. 2011..Also, the results indicate that neither the right TPJ nor MPFC is specific to the attribution of false beliefs... - Abnormalities in emotion processing within cortical and subcortical regions in criminal psychopaths: evidence from a functional magnetic resonance imaging study using pictures with emotional contentJürgen L Müller
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Biol Psychiatry 54:152-62. 2003..Neurobiology of psychopathy is important for our understanding of current neuropsychiatric questions. Despite a growing interest in biological research in psychopathy, its neural underpinning remains obscure... - [Emotional processing in patients with a dissocial personality disorder subtype "psychopathy" according to PCL-R]Tatjana Weber
Klinik für Forensische Psychiatrie der Universität Regensburg am Bezirksklinikum Regensburg
Psychiatr Prax 31:S68-9. 2004..Functional MRI was used to test the effects of the deficient emotional responsiveness of psychopathic patients on cognitive processes... - [Functional neuroanatomy of emotions]Johannes Schwerdtner
Klinik und Poliklinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie der Universität Regensburg
Psychiatr Prax 31:S66-7. 2004..fMRI was used to test the influence of induced emotions on a non-affective, attention-demanding, cognitive task... - Olfactometry in fMRI studies: odor presentation using nasal continuous positive airway pressureRoland Popp
Department of Psychiatry, University of Regensburg, Universitätsstr 84, D 93053 Regensburg, Germany
Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars) 64:171-6. 2004..The relatively inexpensive olfactometer is reliable and permits constant odor concentrations during the inherently prolonged imaging studies... - Combined measurement of event-related potentials (ERPs) and fMRIMonika Sommer
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars) 63:49-53. 2003..Thus, during an EPI sequence, it was possible to detect VEPs which had the same structure and latencies as VEPs outside the magnetic field and which corresponded well with the observed activated areas of the visual cortex... - [Neurobiology of violence: results of empirical and experimental studies of reactive violence]Jürgen L Müller
Klinik für Forensik der Universität Regensburg im Bezirkskrankenhaus
Psychiatr Prax 31:S50-1. 2004..Knowing that violence has multifactorial determinants, a model on the neurobiological findings on violence is given. Thus, neurobiology is just an important part of conditions correlated with violence... - Gray matter changes in right superior temporal gyrus in criminal psychopaths.
