Abstract
Interindividual differences in music-related reward have been characterized as involving five main facets: musical seeking, emotion evocation, mood regulation, social reward, and sensory-motor. An interesting concept related to how humans decode music as a rewarding experience is music transcendence or absorption (i.e., music-driven states of complete immersion, including momentary loss of self-consciousness or even time-space disorientation). Here, we investigated the relation between previously characterized facets of music reward and individual differences in music absorption. A first sample of participants (N = 370) completed both the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ) and the Absorption in Music Scale (AIMS). Results showed that both constructs were highly interrelated (r = 0.78, p < 0.001), indicating that higher music reward sensitivity is associated with a greater tendency to music-related absorption states. In addition, four items from the AIMS were identified as suitable to be added to an extended version of the BMRQ (eBMRQ). A second sample (N = 550) completed the eBMRQ for a validation study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on the whole sample (N = 920) showed the reliable psychometric properties of the eBMRQ and suggested that taking into account an absorption facet could contribute to a better characterization of individual differences in the sensitivity to experience music-related reward and pleasure.

Abstract
The present study investigated neural activations related to flashbulb memory (FM) recall and examined whether the amygdala and hippocampus are involved in FM recall. 20 healthy adults completed a block design with an FM-condition, where the reception events for a number of potential FM events had to be recalled, and a control condition (FMC) comprising reception events lacking FM characteristics. A definition naming task was used as an implicit baseline. The individual emotional reaction to the FM events (EMO) and self-rated retrieval success were included in the SPM model as modulating parameters. The main contrast of interest were FM > FMC and activations associated with EMO. ROI-analyses on mesiotemporal regions were performed. FM > FMC yielded activations in line with the autobiographical memory network, with mostly left sided-activations. EMO was associated with a more bilateral activation pattern. ROI-analysis revealed activations for EMO in the right amygdala and HATA. FM > FMC was associated with right hippocampal activations. The present findings are compatible with previous research into autobiographical memory, but also show activations for FM recall different from ordinary, not highly emotional autobiographical memories, as EMO is associated with a more bilateral network. Moreover, the amygdala seems to be involved in FM recall.

Abstract
The human temporal lobe is a multimodal association area which plays a key role in various aspects of cognition, particularly in memory formation and spatial navigation. Functional and anatomical connectivity of temporal structures is thus a subject of intense research, yet by far underexplored in humans due to ethical and technical limitations. We assessed intratemporal cortico-cortical interactions in the living human brain by means of single pulse electrical stimulation, an invasive method allowing mapping effective intracortical connectivity with a high spatiotemporal resolution. Eighteen subjects with normal anterior-mesial temporal MR imaging undergoing intracranial presurgical epilepsy diagnostics with multiple depth electrodes were included. The investigated structures were temporal pole, hippocampus, amygdala and parahippocampal gyrus. Intratemporal cortical connectivity was assessed as a function of amplitude of the early component of the cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEP). While the analysis revealed robust interconnectivity between all explored structures, a clear asymmetry in bidirectional connectivity was detected for the hippocampal network and for the connections between the temporal pole and parahippocampal gyrus. The amygdala showed bidirectional asymmetry only to the hippocampus. The provided evidence of asymmetrically weighed intratemporal effective connectivity in humans in vivo is important for understanding of functional interactions within the temporal lobe since asymmetries in the brain connectivity define hierarchies in information processing. The findings are in exact accord with the anatomical tracing studies in non-human primates and open a translational route for interventions employing modulation of temporal lobe function.
