An increasing amount of research effort is being directed toward investigating the neural
bases of social cognition from a systems neuroscience perspective. Evidence from multiple …

Brain-wide circuits that coordinate affective and social behaviours intersect in the amygdala.
Consequently, amygdala lesions cause a heterogeneous array of social and non-social …

Studies of humans with focal brain damage and non-human animals with experimentally
induced brain lesions have provided pivotal insights into the neural basis of behavior. As the …

Perception of threats is essential for survival. Previous findings suggest that parallel
pathways independently relay innate threat signals from different sensory modalities to …

The perception of direct gaze—that is, of another individual's gaze directed at the observer—
is known to influence a wide range of cognitive processes and behaviors. We present a new …

There has been increasing interest in using neuroimaging measures to predict psychiatric
disorders. However, predictions usually rely on large brain networks and large disorder …

The neural basis of empathy and prosociality has received much interest over the past
decades. Neuroimaging studies localized a network of brain regions with activity that …

Face perception in humans and nonhuman primates is rapid and accurate [1–4]. In the
human brain, a network of visual-processing regions is specialized for faces [5–7]. Although …

When extreme, anxiety can become debilitating. Anxiety disorders, which often first emerge
early in development, are common and challenging to treat, yet the underlying mechanisms …
