Emotion-related impulsivity is related to orbitofrontal cortical sulcation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emotion-related impulsivity (ERI) describes the trait-like tendency toward poor self-control when experiencing strong emotions. ERI has been shown to be elevated across psychiatric disorders and predictive of the onset and worsening of psychiatric syndromes. Recent work has correlated ERI scores with the region-level neuroanatomical properties of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), but not posteromedial cortex (PMC). Informed by a growing body of research indicating that examining the morphology of specific cortical folds (sulci) can produce unique insights into behavioral outcomes, the present study modeled the association between ERI and the morphology of sulci within OFC and PMC, which is a finer scale than previously conducted.
