TLDR
The human amygdala responds preferentially to emotionally valenced faces and rapidly habituates to them and is counterbalanced to happy versus neutral faces, suggesting a possible generalized response to emotions valenced stimuli.About:

Sources of Method Bias in Social Science Research and Recommendations on How to Control It
TL;DR: The meaning of the terms "method" and "method bias" are explored and whether method biases influence all measures equally are examined, and the evidence of the effects that method biases have on individual measures and on the covariation between different constructs is reviewed.

Emotion Circuits in the Brain
TL;DR: The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced emotion as an important research area, and much of the progress has come from studies of fear, and especially fear conditioning as mentioned in this paper.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distributed human neural system for face perception.
TL;DR: A model for the organization of this system that emphasizes a distinction between the representation of invariant and changeable aspects of faces is proposed and is hierarchical insofar as it is divided into a core system and an extended system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of images were acquired continuously with the same imaging pulse sequence (either gradient echo or spin-echo inversion recovery) during task activation, and a significant increase in signal intensity (paired t test; P less than 0.001) of 1.8% +/- 0.9% was observed in the primary visual cortex (V1) of seven normal volunteers.
