Arjun Sethi,Eamon McCrory,Vanessa B. Puetz,Ferdinand Hoffmann,Annchen R. Knodt,Spenser R. Radtke,Bartholomew D. Brigidi,Ahmad R. Hariri,Essi Viding +8 more
TL;DR: Distinct neural correlates of fear processing characterize individuals with primary and secondary psychopathy, and the reduced neural response to fear that characterizes individuals with the primary variant of psychopathic traits is not observed inindividuals with the secondary presentation.

Evidence for Depressogenic Spontaneous Thoughts and Altered Resting-State Connectivity in Adolescents With a Maltreatment History
Ferdinand Hoffmann,Essi Viding,Vanessa B. Puetz,Mattia I. Gerin,Arjun Sethi,Georgia Rankin,Eamon McCrory +6 more
TL;DR: Adolescents who experienced maltreatment show a reduction in positively valenced spontaneous thoughts and reduced sgACC-FPN RSFC at the neural level, which may contribute to a ruminative thinking style, representing risk factors for developing depression later in life.

Risk-taking, peer-influence and child maltreatment: a neurocognitive investigation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that children with a history of maltreatment show reduced risk-taking but typical responses to peer influence, and abnormal rAI functioning contributes to the pattern of reducedrisk-taking and may predispose children exposed to maltreatment to develop future psychopathology.
Sex influence on face recognition memory moderated by presentation duration and reencoding.
TL;DR: The results suggest women do not have a better face recognition memory than men per se, but may profit more than men from longer durations of presentation during encoding or the possibility for reencoding.

Autobiographical memory as a latent vulnerability mechanism following childhood maltreatment: Association with future depression symptoms and prosocial behavior
Vanessa B. Puetz,Essi Viding,Ferdinand Hoffmann,Mattia I. Gerin,Molly Sharp,Georgia Rankin,Eleanor A. Maguire,Andrea Mechelli,Eamon McCrory,Eamon McCrory +9 more
TL;DR: The current findings highlight the potential value of OGM as a cognitive mechanism that could be targeted to reduce risk of depression in adolescents with prior histories of maltreatment.
