The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (MdPFC) and anterior cingulate cortices (ACC) play a
critical role in implicit emotion regulation; however the understanding of the specific
neurotransmitters that mediate such role is lacking. In this study, we examined relationships
between MdPFC concentrations of two neurotransmitters, glutamate and γ-amino butyric
acid (GABA), and BOLD activity in ACC during performance of an implicit facial emotion-
processing task. Twenty healthy volunteers, aged 20–35 years, were scanned while …
