Discrete Neural Signatures of Basic Emotions
Heini Saarimäki,Athanasios Gotsopoulos,Iiro P. Jääskeläinen,Jouko Lampinen,Patrik Vuilleumier,Riitta Hari,Mikko Sams,Lauri Nummenmaa +7 more
TL;DR: Brain regions contributing most to the classification accuracy included medial and inferior lateral prefrontal cortices, frontal pole, precentral and postcentral gyri, precuneus, and posterior cingulate cortex, suggesting a direct link between activity in these brain regions and the subjective emotional experience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotional speech synchronizes brains across listeners and engages large-scale dynamic brain networks
Lauri Nummenmaa,Heini Saarimäki,Enrico Glerean,Athanasios Gotsopoulos,Iiro P. Jääskeläinen,Riitta Hari,Mikko Sams +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that high arousal synchronizes the listeners' sound-processing and speech-comprehension networks, whereas negative valence synchronizes circuitries supporting emotional and self-referential processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distributed affective space represents multiple emotion categories across the human brain.
Heini Saarimäki,Lara Farzaneh Ejtehadian,Enrico Glerean,Iiro P. Jääskeläinen,Patrik Vuilleumier,Mikko Sams,Lauri Nummenmaa,Lauri Nummenmaa +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that different basic and non-basic emotions have distinguishable neural bases characterized by specific, distributed activation patterns in widespread cortical and subcortical circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of spatial smoothing on functional brain networks
Tuomas Alakörkkö,Heini Saarimäki,Enrico Glerean,Enrico Glerean,Jari Saramäki,Onerva Korhonen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply various levels of spatial smoothing to resting-state fMRI data and measure the changes induced in functional networks, showing that the level of smoothing clearly affects the degrees and other centrality measures of functional network nodes; these changes are non-uniform, systematic, and depend on the geometry of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory binding and white matter integrity in familial Alzheimer’s disease
Mario A. Parra,Heini Saarimäki,Mark E. Bastin,Ana C. Londoño,Lewis D. Pettit,Francisco Lopera,Sergio Della Sala,Sharon Abrahams +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that white matter structures in the frontal and temporal lobes are vulnerable to the early stages of familial Alzheimer's disease and their damage is associated with impairments in two memory binding functions known to be markers for Alzheimers disease.
