A default mode of brain function.

TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.

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.

Risk as Feelings

TL;DR: It is shown that emotional reactions to risky situations often diverge from cognitive assessments of those risks, and when such divergence occurs, emotional reactions often drive behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body.

TL;DR: Functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body that might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk as feelings.

TL;DR: This article proposed the risk-as-feelings hypothesis, which highlights the role of affect experienced at the moment of decision making, and showed that emotional reactions to risky situations often diverge from cognitive assessments of those risks.

The Adapted mind : evolutionary psychology and the generation of culture

TL;DR: The Adapted Mind as discussed by the authors explores evolutionary psychology and its implications for a new view of culture, in which the traditional view of the mind as a general-purpose computer, tabula rasa or passive recipient of culture is being replaced by the view that the mind resembles an intricate network of functionally specialized computers, each of which imposes contentful structure on human mental organization and culture.

Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self : The Neurobiology of Emotional Development

TL;DR: Grotstein this paper proposed a psychoneurobiological model of the Dual Circuit Processing of Socioemotional Information of the developing brain and discussed the relationship between psychobiology of affective reunions and neurobiology of affect regulation.

Dissociation Of Working Memory from Decision Making within the Human Prefrontal Cortex

TL;DR: A cognitive and anatomic double dissociation between deficits in decision making (anterior VM) and working memory (right DL/M) is revealed, the first direct evidence of such effects in humans using the lesion method and underscores the special importance of the VM prefrontal region in decisionMaking, independent of a direct role in working memory.

The prefrontal landscape: implications of functional architecture for understanding human mentation and the central executive

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the working memory processor as a specialization of prefrontal cortex and argues that the different areas within prefrontal cortex represent iterations of this function for different information domains, including spatial cognition, object cognition and additionally, in humans, semantic processing.

Emotion-related learning in patients with social and emotional changes associated with frontal lobe damage.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a difficulty in modifying responses, especially when followed by negative consequences, as manifested in these simple laboratory tests, may contribute to the inappropriate behaviour shown in daily life by patients with frontal lobe damage.
