The authors present an overview of the neural bases of emotion. They underscore the role of
the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and amygdala in 2 broad approach-and withdrawal-related …

This article reviews the modern literature on two key aspects of the central circuitry of
emotion: the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the amygdala. There are several different functional …

Abstract D. Watson and A. Tellegen (1985) proposed a “consensual” structure of affect
based on JA Russell's (1980) circumplex. The authors' review of the literature indicates that …

Much has been learned about mood and temperament in recent years--yet until now,
investigations into these domains have remained relatively distinct and disconnected. This …

The application of functional neuroimaging to the study of human emotion has yielded
valuable data; however, the conclusions that may be drawn from any one study are limited …

Models advanced to explain hemispheric asymmetries in representation of emotions will be
discussed following their historical progression. First, the clinical observations that have …

Behavioral studies indicate that there exists a 'negativity bias' in the way surrounding events
are processed. Particularly, it has been indicated that negative events elicit more rapid and …

This study is part of an effort to map neural systems involved in the processing of emotion,
and it focuses on the possible cortical components of the process of recognizing facial …

Emotional perception was examined in stroke patients across 3 communication channels:
facial, prosodic, and lexical. Hemispheric specialization for emotion was tested via right …

This article provides a review of research on the hemispheric specialization in emotional
processing during the past 40 years and the theoretical models derived from the conceptual …
