The participants consisted of 56 total subjects; 28 RSA and 28 non-clinical controls (C). The participants completed the self-perception and experiential schemata assessment (SPESA) and source localization was compared utilizing standardized low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA). The data show significant differences between groups during both the assessment condition and baselines. A pattern of alpha activity as estimated by sLORETA was shown in the right amygdala, uncus, hippocampus, BA37, insular cortex and orbitofrontal regions during the SPESA condition. This activity possibly reflects a circuit related to negative perceptions of self formed in specific neural pathways. These pathways may be responsive to the alpha activity induced by many substances by bringing the brain into synchrony if only for a short time. In effect this may represent the euphoria described by substance abusers. | Gov't Doc #: | 18836825 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10687 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10484-008-9067-9 | Journal: | Applied psychophysiology and biofeedback | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18836825 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Alcoholism.physiopathology.psychology.rehabilitation Brain.physiopathology Brain Mapping Cerebral Cortex.physiopathology Delta Rhythm Electroencephalography Emotions.physiology Female Humans Male Middle Aged Personality Inventory Self Concept Signal Processing, Computer-Assisted Street Drugs Substance-Related Disorders.physiopathology.psychology.rehabilitation Theta Rhythm Young Adult |
