Journal ArticleDOI
Editorial overview: Survival behaviors and circuits
Dean Mobbs,Joseph E. LeDoux +1 more
TL;DR: Mobbs et al. as discussed by the authors developed theoretical models that merge behavioral ecology, economics, emotion, and social psychology to understand the neural, computational and behavioral dynamics of human social and emotional experiences.
Book ChapterDOI
Law, responsibility, and the brain
TL;DR: This chapter reviews studies pointing to brain dysfunction in criminally violent individuals and addresses a range of philosophical and practical issues concerning the use of brainimaging in court and lays out several guidelines for its use in the legal system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is fear perception special? Evidence at the level of decision-making and subjective confidence
Ai Koizumi,Dean Mobbs,Hakwan Lau +2 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that mechanisms in the prefrontal cortex contribute to making fearful face perception special, and suggest that fearful faces may have privileged access to consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The behavioral and neural basis of foreign language effect on risk-taking
TL;DR: FMRI data confirms that outcome processing in emotion-related regions may underlie individual differences in foreign language effects in judgment and decision making and indicates that foreign language enhanced neural responses to rewards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attentional set to safety recruits the ventral medial prefrontal cortex.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that attentional set for searching safety recruits the vmPFC, while detection of threat-related cues elicits activity in the frontoparietal attention network, suggesting new roles for these regions in human defensive survival circuitry.
