Emotions of fear and disgust are related to core symptoms of depression. The
neurobiological mechanisms of these associations are poorly understood. This functional …

We examined the influence of disgust sensitivity and trait anxiety on disgust processing via
functional magnetic resonance imaging. Data of 63 healthy females were combined across …

Objectives: To determine the neural responses invoked in the recognition of facial fear and

Inconsistent findings from several functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies on
fear and disgust raise the question which brain regions are relatively specialized and which …

Converging lines of evidence suggest the involvement of the insula and basal ganglia in the
processing of disgust, an important primary emotion that guides the avoidance of potential …

Little is known about how individual differences in trait disgust sensitivity modulate the
neural responses to disgusting stimuli in the brain. Thirty‐seven adult healthy volunteers …
