Journal ArticleDOI
On the relationship between emotion and cognition
TL;DR: It is argued that complex cognitive–emotional behaviours have their basis in dynamic coalitions of networks of brain areas, none of which should be conceptualized as specifically affective or cognitive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotion processing and the amygdala: from a 'low road' to 'many roads' of evaluating biological significance
Luiz Pessoa,Ralph Adolphs +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the primary role of the amygdala in visual processing, like that of the pulvinar, is to coordinate the function of cortical networks during evaluation of the biological significance of affective visual stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural processing of emotional faces requires attention
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure activation in regions that responded differentially to faces with emotional expressions compared with neutral faces, and the modulation of these responses by attention was measured, using a competing task with a high attentional load.
Journal ArticleDOI
How do emotion and motivation direct executive control
TL;DR: The 'dual competition' framework proposes that emotion and motivation affect both perceptual and executive competition, and the anterior cingulate cortex is hypothesized to be engaged in attentional/effortful control mechanisms and to interact with several other brain structures in integrating affectively significant signals with control signals in prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neural correlates of moral sensitivity: a functional magnetic resonance imaging investigation of basic and moral emotions.
Jorge Moll,Ricardo de Oliveira-Souza,Paul J. Eslinger,Ivanei E. Bramati,Janaina Mourao-Miranda,Pedro Angelo Andreiuolo,Luiz Pessoa +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the automatic tagging of ordinary social events with moral values may be an important mechanism for implicit social behaviors in humans.
