• Review on Psychological Stress Detection Using Biosignals (2019, background): “The most common positions used in the estimation of alpha asymmetry are channels F3-F4 as they are located above the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [30, 31], a region directly affected by stressful conditions [32].”
• Stress signalling pathways that impair prefrontal cortex structure and function (2009, neutral): “For example, one functional imaging study had female subjects watch emotionally upsetting movies and found evidence of reduced activation in PFC region”
• Mathematics Anxiety: What Have We Learned in 60 Years? (2016, background): “For example, as will be discussed in the Section Gender and Mathematics Anxiety, most studies suggest that females show more mathematics anxiety than males, but there are no gender differences in statistics anxiety (Baloğlu, 2004).”
• Brain On Stress: Vulnerability and Plasticity of the Prefrontal Cortex Over the Life Course (2013, positive): “This acute stress effect on working memory and working memory-related activity in dlPFC monitored by fMRI is reported in volunteer subjects viewing movie clips with extremely aversive material (Qin et al., 2009).”
• Modulating prefrontal cortex activity to alleviate stress-induced working memory deficits: A transcranial direct current (tDCS) study (2024, unknown): “Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies showed reduced activation of this area due to stress during WM task performance (Qin et al., 2009).”
• Multimodal assessment of acute stress dynamics using an aversive video paradigm (AVP) (2024, unknown): “In this paradigm, participants are exposed to threatening stimuli through aversive videos, without the need for active engagement or social evaluation (Noack et al., 2019; Qin et al., 2009).”
