Adaptive social behavior and mental well-being depend on not only recognizing emotional
expressions but also, inferring the absence of emotion. While the neurobiology underwriting …

The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced
emotion as an important research area. Much of the progress has come from studies of fear …

Recent years have witnessed the emergence of powerful new tools for assaying the brain
and a remarkable acceleration of research focused on the interplay of emotion and …

Widespread cortical-subcortical networks are involved in the recognition and discrimination
of emotional contents of facial and vocal expression, whereby the cerebellum and basal …

Our understanding of emotion has lagged behind our knowledge of most other domains of
cognition, both theoretically and empirically. In large part, this can be attributed to the fact …

Researchers generally agree that when upregulating and downregulating emotion, control
regions in the prefrontal cortex turn up or down activity in affect-generating brain areas …

Facial expressions represent one of the most salient cues in our environment. They
communicate the affective state and intent of an individual and, if interpreted correctly …

Neuroimaging functional connectivity analyses have shown that the negative coupling
between the amygdala and cortical regions is linked to better emotion regulation (ER) in …

The neural basis of emotion perception has mostly been investigated with single face or
body stimuli. However, in daily life one may also encounter affective expressions by groups …

The quest to characterize the neural signature distinctive of different basic emotions has
recently come under renewed scrutiny. Here we investigated whether facial expressions of …
