General and specific responsiveness of the amygdala during explicit emotion recognition in females and males
Background The ability to recognize emotions in facial expressions relies on an extensive
neural network with the amygdala as the key node as has typically been demonstrated for …

Elevated responses to constant facial emotions in different faces in the human amygdala: an fMRI study of facial identity and expression
Background Human faces provide important signals in social interactions by inferring two
main types of information, individual identity and emotional expression. The ability to readily …

Amygdalar activation associated with positive and negative facial expressions
Most theories of amygdalar function have underscored its role in fear. One broader theory
suggests that neuronal activation of the amygdala in response to fear-related stimuli …

Neural circuitry for accurate identification of facial emotions
Converging studies have revealed neural circuits for emotion processing, yet none has
related activation to identification accuracy. We report a hybrid (block and event-related) …

Feature-based representations of emotional facial expressions in the human amygdala
The amygdala plays a central role in processing facial affect, responding to diverse
expressions and features shared between expressions. Although speculation exists …
