    Keywords : Anhedonia; Depression; Reward; Pramipexole; Resting-state; Functional Connectivity; Nucleus Accumbens; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Pramipexole is a medication that normalises dopamine signalling in the brain. Previous studies have suggested that pramipexole is an effective treatment option for depression and anhedonia because it targets the dopaminergic pathways within the brain’s reward network. READ MORE

  6. 5. Frontal Alpha Asymmetry and Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Systems

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Victoria Saldjoughi Tivander; [2023]
    Keywords : frontal alpha asymmetry; EEG; resting-state; BIS BAS; test-retest reliability;

    Abstract : Extensive research has been conducted on the relationship between brain activity and personality traits, and several theories propose a lateralization of specific personality qualities. A prominent model suggests frontal lateralization of motivational direction, specifically, the behavioral inhibition and activation systems (BIS/BAS), with greater right frontal activity linked to behavioral inhibition and greater left frontal activity linked to behavioral activation.
