...Strikingly, of the eight studies that examined cerebral responses to fearful faces, six pointed to the critical involvement of the amygdala (Morris et al., 1996; Breiter et al., 1996; Phillips et al., 1997; Phillips et al., 1998a; Morris et al., 1998a; Whalen et al., 1998a)....

...Amygdala activations occur throughout various evocative stimuli, including fear faces (Morris et al., 1996; Breiter et al., 1996; Phillips et al., 1997), aversive pictures (Irwin et al....

...Morris et al. (1996) found that the amygdalar response to fearful faces showed a significant interaction with the intensity of emotion (increasing with increasing fearfulness) and that the activation was not contingent upon the explicit processing of facial expression, as subjects were instructed…...

...Activations in the basal ganglia, including the ventral striatum and putamen, have been observed in response to happy faces (Whalen et al., 1998a; Morris et al., 1996, 1998a; Phillips et al., 1998b), pleasant pictures (Lane et al., 1997a; Lane et al., 1999; Davidson and Irwin, 1999),…...
