Functional atlas of emotional faces processing: a voxel-based meta-analysis of 105 functional magnetic resonance imaging studies
Background: Most of our social interactions involve perception of emotional information from
the faces of other people. Furthermore, such emotional processes are thought to be aberrant …

Differentiating neural responses to emotional pictures: Evidence from temporal‐spatial PCA
Consistent with the notion that emotional stimuli receive preferential attention and
perceptual processing, many event‐related potential (ERP) components appear sensitive to …

Tuning the developing brain to social signals of emotions
JM Leppänen, CA Nelson - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2009 - nature.com
Humans in different cultures develop a similar capacity to recognize the emotional signals of
diverse facial expressions. This capacity is mediated by a brain network that involves …

From specificity to sensitivity: how acute stress affects amygdala processing of biologically salient stimuli
BACKGROUND: A vital component of an organism's response to acute stress is a surge in
vigilance that serves to optimize the detection and assessment of threats to its homeostasis …

Hunger is the best spice: an fMRI study of the effects of attention, hunger and calorie content on food reward processing in the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex
Research indicates that dysfunctional food reward processing may contribute to pathological
eating behaviour. It is widely recognized that both the amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex …

Of snakes and faces: An evolutionary perspective on the psychology of fear
A Öhman - Scandinavian journal of psychology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Snakes and faces are unique stimuli because they are deeply grounded in evolutionarily
shaped behavior systems. Snakes are the prototypical stimulus in a predatory defense …
