Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala in Mediating Fear and Anxiety in the Primate.
TL;DR: Results suggest that similar to rodent species, the primate CeA plays a role in mediating fear- and anxiety-related behavioral and endocrine responses and patterns of asymmetric frontal brain electrical activity, as assessed by regional scalp EEG, did not significantly differ between control and lesioned monkeys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced capacity to sustain positive emotion in major depression reflects diminished maintenance of fronto-striatal brain activation
Aaron S. Heller,Tom Johnstone,Alexander J. Shackman,Sharee N. Light,Michael J. Peterson,Gregory G. Kolden,Ned H. Kalin,Richard J. Davidson +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that anhedonia in depressed patients reflects the inability to sustain engagement of structures involved in positive affect and reward is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resting frontal brain asymmetry predicts affective responses to films.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed whether resting EEG asymmetry in anterior regions of the brain can predict affective responses to emotion elicitors and found a strong relation between frontal asymmetry and fear responses to films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural and behavioral substrates of mood and mood regulation.
Richard J. Davidson,David A. Lewis,Lauren B. Alloy,David G. Amaral,George Bush,Jonathan D. Cohen,Wayne C. Drevets,Martha J. Farah,Jerome Kagan,Jay L McClelland,Susan Nolen-Hoeksema,Bradley S. Peterson +11 more
TL;DR: A review of behavioral and neurobiological data on mood and mood regulation as they pertain to an understanding of mood disorders is presented and a series of specific recommendations for National Institute of Mental Health priorities are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional neuroanatomy of aversion and its anticipation.
Jack B. Nitschke,Issidoros Sarinopoulos,Kristen L. Mackiewicz,Hillary S. Schaefer,Richard J. Davidson +4 more
TL;DR: Results show that anticipation of aversion recruits key brain regions that respond to aversion, thereby potentially enhancing adaptive responses to aversive events.
