Face perception, perhaps the most highly developed visual skill in humans, is mediated by a
distributed neural system in humans that is comprised of multiple, bilateral regions. We …

Emotion is normally regulated in the human brain by a complex circuit consisting of the
orbital frontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, and several other interconnected …

There are many advantages to defining emotions as states elicited by reinforcers, with the
states having a set of different functions. This approach leads towards an understanding of …

The aim of this paper is to explicate what is special about emotional information processing,
emphasizing the neural foundations that underlie the experience and expression of fear. A …

Quantitative and qualitative reviews of the literature on sex differences in facial expression
processing (FEP) have yielded conflicting findings regarding children. This study was …

This review proposes that implicit learning processes are the cognitive substrate of social
intuition. This hypothesis is supported by (a) the conceptual correspondence between …

Brothers (Brothers L. Concepts in Neuroscience 1990; 1: 27–51) proposed a network of
neural regions that comprise the “social brain”, which includes the amygdala. Since the …

Although lesion and functional imaging studies have broadly implicated the right
hemisphere in the recognition of emotion, neither the underlying processes nor the precise …

Humans share with animals a primitive neural system for processing emotions such as fear
and anger. Unlike other animals, humans have the unique ability to control and modulate …

The brain circuitry underlying emotion includes several territories of the prefrontal cortex
(PFC), the amygdala, hippocampus, anterior cingulate, and related structures. In general …
