  1. ncbi Conflict-related activity in the caudal anterior cingulate cortex in the absence of awareness
    Stefan Ursu
    Department of Psychiatry, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
    Biol Psychol 80:279-86. 2009
    ..These results suggest that the performance monitoring function of the cACC extends beyond detection of errors made with or without awareness, and involves detection of multiple responses even when they are outside of awareness...
  2. ncbi An initial investigation of the orbitofrontal cortex hyperactivity in obsessive-compulsive disorder: exaggerated representations of anticipated aversive events?
    Stefan Ursu
    Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA, USA
    Neuropsychologia 47:2145-8. 2009
    ..The level of OFC hyperactivity correlated directly with the severity of anxiety symptoms. These results support the hypothesis that OCD is characterized by exaggerated OFC representations of anticipated aversive events...
  3. ncbi Outcome representations, counterfactual comparisons and the human orbitofrontal cortex: implications for neuroimaging studies of decision-making
    Stefan Ursu
    Department of Psychiatry, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
    Brain Res Cogn Brain Res 23:51-60. 2005
    ..We also discuss some of the implications that these hypotheses have for neuroimaging studies of reward processing and decision-making, and for studies of neuropsychiatric disorders in which these processes are thought to be disturbed...
  4. ncbi Distinguishing expected negative outcomes from preparatory control in the human orbitofrontal cortex
    Stefan Ursu
    Department of Psychiatry, University of California Davis, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
