The polyvagal perspective

TL;DR: The polyvagal perspective emphasizes how an understanding of neurophysiological mechanisms and phylogenetic shifts in neural regulation leads to different questions, paradigms, explanations, and conclusions regarding autonomic function in biobehavioral processes than peripheral models.

Functional atlas of emotional faces processing: a voxel-based meta-analysis of 105 functional magnetic resonance imaging studies.

TL;DR: This study has detailed neurofunctional maps to use as normative references in future fMRI studies of emotional facial processing in psychiatric populations, and found selective differences between neural networks underlying the basic emotions in limbic and insular brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of the amygdala in emotional processing: a quantitative meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies.

TL;DR: The results confirm that the amygdala responds to both positive and negative stimuli, with a preference for faces depicting emotional expressions, and provide strong support for a functional dissociation between left and right amygdala in terms of temporal dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychosis and autism as diametrical disorders of the social brain

TL;DR: Evidence regarding the genetic, physiological, neurological, and psychological underpinnings of psychotic-spectrum conditions supports the hypothesis that the etiologies of these conditions involve biases towards increased relative effects from imprinted genes with maternal expression, which engender a general pattern of undergrowth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unconscious processing of emotions and the right hemisphere.

TL;DR: If the right hemisphere may also play a critical role in dynamic unconscious phenomena, such as anosognosia/denial of hemiplegia in patients with unilateral brain lesions is evaluated.

The Fusiform Face Area: A Module in Human Extrastriate Cortex Specialized for Face Perception

TL;DR: The data allow us to reject alternative accounts of the function of the fusiform face area (area “FF”) that appeal to visual attention, subordinate-level classification, or general processing of any animate or human forms, demonstrating that this region is selectively involved in the perception of faces.

The Emotional Brain

TL;DR: In The Emotional Brain, Joseph LeDoux investigates the origins of human emotions and explains that many exist as part of complex neural systems that evolved to enable us to survive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional neuroanatomy of emotion: a meta-analysis of emotion activation studies in PET and fMRI.

TL;DR: A critical comparison of findings across individual studies is provided and suggests that separate brain regions are involved in different aspects of emotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychophysiological and modulatory interactions in neuroimaging.

TL;DR: Interactions among extrastriate, inferotemporal, and posterior parietal regions during visual processing, under different attentional and perceptual conditions, are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale neurocognitive networks and distributed processing for attention, language, and memory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a model where complex behavior is mapped at the level of multifocal neural systems rather than specific anatomical sites, giving rise to brain-behavior relationships that are both localized and distributed.
