Journal ArticleDOI
Emotional processing in anterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: A wealth of recent research on negative emotions in animals and humans is examined, and it is concluded that, contrary to the traditional dichotomy, both subdivisions make key contributions to emotional processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving Emotional Conflict: A Role for the Rostral Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Modulating Activity in the Amygdala
TL;DR: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), it is found that activity in the amygdala and dorsomedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices reflects the amount of emotional conflict and top-down inhibition of amygdalar activity by the rostral cingulate cortex is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive control mechanisms resolve conflict through cortical amplification of task-relevant information.
Tobias Egner,Joy Hirsch +1 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that, in response to high conflict, cognitive control mechanisms enhance performance by transiently amplifying cortical responses to task-relevant information rather than by inhibiting responses to the task-irrelevant information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expectation (and attention) in visual cognition
TL;DR: Recent work that has begun to delineate a neurobiology of visual expectation is reviewed, and the findings are contrasted with those of the attention literature to explore how these two central influences on visual perception overlap, differ and interact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural repetition suppression reflects fulfilled perceptual expectations
TL;DR: By manipulating the likelihood of stimulus repetition, this work found that repetition suppression in the human brain was reduced when stimulus repetitions were improbable (and thus, unexpected), suggesting a relative reduction in top-down perceptual 'prediction error' when processing an expected, compared with an unexpected, stimulus.
