Aversive event anticipation affects connectivity between the ventral striatum and the orbitofrontal cortex in an fMRI avoidance task.

Ability to anticipate aversive events is important for avoiding dangerous or unpleasant situations.The motivation to avoid an event is influenced by the incentive salience of an event-predicting cue.In an avoidance fMRI task we used tone intensities to manipulate salience in order to study the involvement of the orbitofrontal cortex in processing o

SUMMARY In humans, skin is the largest organ and serves as a barrier between our body and the outside world.Skin protects our internal organs from Sofa external pathogens and other contaminants, and melanocytes within the skin protect the body from damage by ultraviolet light.These same pigment cells also determine our skin colour and complexion.Sk
