“…Although conclusive evidence supporting the evolutionary nature of behavior continues to emerge at the human level, we can reliably conclude that at the very least, motivated behavior is determined in multiple ways (Cacioppo & Berntson, 2009). As MDs, acute awareness of the behavioral manifestations of human motives found in the classroom or workplace can be positively or negatively associated with biological markers.…”

“…Principle #14-Neurological/endocrinological inferences are multi-dimensional Despite the logic advanced in the prior paragraph, neurological evidence should be interpreted cautiously for at least three reasons (Cacioppo & Berntson, 2009). First, as aspiring diagnosticians of motivated behavior, whenever possible, our aim is to decipher the causes of observed behavior.…”

“…Interpretive errors may develop because unlike behavioral evidence, which is usually interpreted at the individual or group level, physiological observations can be interpreted at six different levels of specificity (Berntson & Cacioppo, 2008;Cacioppo & Berntson, 2009). Interpretive errors may develop because unlike behavioral evidence, which is usually interpreted at the individual or group level, physiological observations can be interpreted at six different levels of specificity (Berntson & Cacioppo, 2008;Cacioppo & Berntson, 2009).…”

“…This information could ultimately inform the development of theoretically driven distress management behavioral interventions, which could contribute to enhanced clinical cancer care and improved health outcomes. Studies in this research area should progress to a paradigm that includes multilevel integrative analyses and in which the formulation of structure–function relationships should integrate “top-down” and “bottom-up” information, 85 that is, the study of bidirectional mind–body interactions, including behavioral and social factors, brain activity and structure, neural peripheral systems, and the endocrine and immune systems.…”

Emotional distress, brain functioning, and biobehavioral processes in cancer patients: a neuroimaging review and future directions

Despite emerging evidence that distress and adversity can contribute to negative health outcomes in cancer, little is known about the brain networks, regions, or circuits that can contribute to individual differences in affect/distress states and health outcomes in treated cancer patients. To understand the state-of-the-science in this regard, we reviewed neuroimaging studies with cancer patients that examined the associations between negative affect (distress) and changes in the metabolism or structure of brain regions. Cancer patients showed changes in function and/or structure of key brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex, thalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, cingulate cortex (mainly subgenual area), hypothalamus, basal ganglia (striatum and caudate), and insula, which are associated with greater anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and distress. These results provide insights for understanding the effects of these psychological and emotional factors on peripheral stress-related biobehavioral pathways known to contribute to cancer progression and long-term health outcomes. This line of work provides leads for understanding the brain-mediated mechanisms that may explain the health effects of psychosocial interventions in cancer patients and survivors. A multilevel and integrated model for distress management intervention effects on psychological adaptation, biobehavioral processes, cancer pathogenesis, and clinical outcomes is proposed for future research.

“…For instance, when (Poeppel and Monahan 2008, this issue) ask how speech signals are represented and processed in the brain, they are using neuroimaging along with converging methods from psychological science, and guided by the blueprint of competing theoretical accounts for speech perception, to investigate the differential involvement of particular brain regions in psychological states and processes. It is also possible under certain conditions to draw reasonable inferences about psychological operations based on regions of brain activation (Cacioppo & Berntson, in press; Cacioppo & Tassinary, 1990; Henson, 2006; Poldrack, 2006; Sarter, Berntson, & Cacioppo, 1996).…”

During the past quarter century, advances in imaging technology have helped transform scientific fields. As important as the data made available by these new technologies have been, equally important have been the guides provided by existing theories and the converging evidence provided by other methodologies. The field of psychological science is no exception. Neuroimaging is an important new tool in the toolbox of psychological science, but it is most productive when its use is guided by psychological theories and complemented by converging methodologies including (but not limited to) lesion, electrophysiological, computational, and behavioral studies. Based on this approach, the articles in this special issue specify neural mechanisms involved in perception, attention, categorization, memory, recognition, attitudes, social cognition, language, motor coordination, emotional regulation, executive function, decision making, and depression. Understanding the contributions of individual and functionally connected brain regions to these processes benefits psychological theory by suggesting functional representations and processes, constraining these processes, producing means of falsifying hypotheses, and generating new hypotheses. From this work, a view is emerging in which psychological processes represent emergent properties of a widely distributed set of component processes.
