Journal ArticleDOI
A differential neural response in the human amygdala to fearful and happy facial expressions
J. S. Morris,Chris D. Frith,David I. Perrett,Duncan Rowland,Andrew W. Young,Andrew J. Calder,Raymond J. Dolan +6 more
TL;DR: Direct in vivo evidence of a differential neural response in the human amygdala to facial expressions of fear and happiness is reported, providing direct evidence that the humangdala is engaged in processing the emotional salience of faces, with a specificity of response to fearful facial expressions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A specific neural substrate for perceiving facial expressions of disgust
Mary L. Phillips,Andrew W. Young,Carl Senior,Michael Brammer,Christopher Andrew,Andrew J. Calder,Edward T. Bullmore,David I. Perrett,Duncan Rowland,Steven Williams,Jeffrey A. Gray,Anthony S. David +11 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to examine the neural substrate for perceiving disgust expressions and found the neural response to facial expressions of disgust in others is thus closely related to appraisal of distasteful stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual Neurones Responsive to Faces in the Monkey Temporal Cortex
TL;DR: Findings indicate that explanations in terms of arousal, emotional or motor reactions, simple visual feature sensitivity or receptive fields are insufficient to account for the selective responses to faces and face features observed in this population of STS neurones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociable neural responses to facial expressions of sadness and anger
TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging results provide evidence for dissociable, but interlocking, systems for the processing of distinct categories of negative facial expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of sexual dimorphism on facial attractiveness
David I. Perrett,Kieran J Lee,Kieran J Lee,Ian S. Penton-Voak,Duncan Rowland,Sakiko Yoshikawa,D. M. Burt,S. P. Henzi,D. L. Castles,Shigeru Akamatsu +9 more
TL;DR: The results of asking subjects to choose the most attractive faces from continua that enhanced or diminished differences between the average shape of female and male faces indicate a selection pressure that limits sexual dimorphism and encourages neoteny in humans.
