Name change among offender patients: an English high security hospital sampleBirgit Völlm
University of Manchester, Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, Manchester, UK
Crim Behav Ment Health 12:269-81. 2002..There is scant literature on change of name among psychiatric patients but a more substantial amount on the use of aliases among offenders. No one to our knowledge has explored name changes among offender patients...- Neurobiological substrates of antisocial and borderline personality disorder: preliminary results of a functional fMRI studyBirgit Völlm
Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester
Crim Behav Ment Health 14:39-54. 2004..In normal subjects functional brain imaging has been used to investigate the neuroanatomy of impulse control. There are no such imaging studies in personality-disordered populations... - [Prevalence of physical diseases, health behavior and health care utilization in single homeless men: a cross sectional study]Birgit Völlm
Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester
Soz Praventivmed 49:42-50. 2004..The aim of this cross-sectional study was to establish the prevalence of physical diseases, the subjective evaluation of their own health and health care utilization in the actually homeless and a comparison group of formerly homeless... - Methamphetamine activates reward circuitry in drug naïve human subjectsBirgit A Vollm
Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, Warneford Hospital, Oxford, UK
Neuropsychopharmacology 29:1715-22. 2004..Our data also support recent hypotheses suggesting a central role for the orbitofrontal cortex in drug reinforcement and the development of addiction... - [Psychiatric morbidity in homeless single men]Birgit Völlm
Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Psychiatr Prax 31:236-40. 2004..Diagnoses were established according to ICD-10... - Neuronal correlates of theory of mind and empathy: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study in a nonverbal taskBirgit A Vollm
Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
Neuroimage 29:90-8. 2006..These results have implications for our understanding of disorders characterized by impairments of social cognition, such as autism and psychopathy... - Neuronal correlates of reward and loss in Cluster B personality disorders: a functional magnetic resonance imaging studyBirgit Völlm
Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
Psychiatry Res 156:151-67. 2007..Our results suggest dysfunctional responses to rewarding and aversive stimuli in Cluster B personality disordered individuals but do not support the notion of hypersensitivity to reward and hyposensitivity to loss... - Serotonergic modulation of neuronal responses to behavioural inhibition and reinforcing stimuli: an fMRI study in healthy volunteersBirgit Völlm
Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester, Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
Eur J Neurosci 23:552-60. 2006..Combining drug challenge with fMRI (pharmacoMRI; pMRI) is a promising tool for investigating these processes in healthy as well as patient groups... 
Co-operation with another player in a financially rewarded guessing game activates regions implicated in theory of mindRebecca Elliott
Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Soc Neurosci 1:385-95. 2006..Critically the response to reward in medial orbitofrontal cortex was significantly enhanced when subjects were co-operating. This suggests that rewards achieved through co-operation are more valuable than rewards achieved alone...
