Insula Activity to Visceral Stimulation and Endocrine Stress Responses as Associated With Alexithymia in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Few studies have investigated associations between alexithymia and physiological mechanisms in psychosomatic diseases. We examined associations between alexithymia and 1) perception and brain processing of visceral stimulation and 2) the endocrine responses to corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) in healthy individuals and patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). METHODS: The study included 29 patients with IBS and 35 age- and s…
Influence of Uncertain Anticipation on Brain Responses to Aversive Rectal Distension in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether certainty and uncertainty of impending aversive visceral sensation differently modulate regional brain activity, both during anticipation and visceral sensation in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients compared with healthy controls. METHODS: Twenty-six IBS patients (14 women) and 29 healthy controls (15 women) were enrolled in a functional magnetic resonance imaging study. Participants received rectal distent…
The alexithymic brain
Alexithymia is a personality trait characterized by difficulties in identifying and describing feelings and is associated with psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders. The mechanisms underlying the link between emotional dysregulation and psychosomatic disorders are unclear. Recent progress in neuroimaging has provided important information regarding emotional experience in alexithymia. We have conducted three brain imaging studies on alexithymia…
Effects of Preceding Stimulation on Brain Activation in Response to Colonic Distention in Humans
OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that the pattern of distension (moderate following mild and vice versa) might influence brain activation and the experience of hypersensitivity, offset analgesia, and anticipation. Nevertheless, how the pattern of stimulation affects sensitization and/or desensitization to visceral stimulation remains unknown. METHODS: In 45 nonclinical healthy participants (12 women, 33 men; 20-26 years old), brain processing of …
Neural Substrates of Decision Making as Measured With the Iowa Gambling Task in Men With Alexithymia
OBJECTIVE: Individuals with alexithymia have a reduced ability to use their feelings to guide their behavior appropriately in social situations. To reveal the capacity to use emotional signals in alexithymia under conditions of uncertainty, this study investigates neural substrates and performance on the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), which was developed to assess decision making based on emotion-guided evaluation. METHODS: The participants were 10 me…
Analyzing the Aesthetic Impressions of Alexithymic Japanese Students
We investigated the association between alexithymic tendencies as measured by the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the characteristics of aesthetic impressions for words and drawings. Impressions were measured using the semantic differential technique in three groups of Japanese students (High scores n = 31, Moderate scores n = 40, and a Control group n = 182) who were presented only words (Word condition), only drawings (Drawing condition),…
