Journal ArticleDOI
Frontal brain asymmetry and emotional reactivity: A biological substrate of affective style
TL;DR: For subjects whose frontal asymmetry was stable across the 3-week period, greater left frontal activation was associated with reports of more intense positive affect in response to the positive films, whereas greater right frontal activationwas associated with more intense reports of negative affect in Response to the negative film clips.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social influences on neuroplasticity: stress and interventions to promote well-being
TL;DR: Although the precise mechanisms of plasticity are still not fully understood, moderate to severe stress appears to increase the growth of several sectors of the amygdala, whereas the effects in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex tend to be opposite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual differences in anterior brain asymmetry and fundamental dimensions of emotion.
TL;DR: Additional correlational analyses revealed robust relations between anterior asymmetry and PA and NA, particularly among subjects who demonstrated stable patterns of EEG activation over time, and was unrelated to individual differences in generalized reactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anterior cingulate activity as a predictor of degree of treatment response in major depression: evidence from brain electrical tomography analysis.

TL;DR: These results, based on electrophysiological imaging, not only support hemodynamic findings implicating activation of the anterior cingulate as a predictor of response in depression, but they also suggest that differential activity in the rostral anterior cedulate is associated with gradations of response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetrical brain activity discriminates between positive and negative affective stimuli in human infants
TL;DR: Ten-month-old infants viewed videotape segments of an actress spontaneously generating a happy or sad facial expression and showed greater activation of the left frontal than of the right frontal area in response to the happy segments.
