A differential neural response in the human amygdala to fearful and happy facial expressions

TL;DR: Direct in vivo evidence of a differential neural response in the human amygdala to facial expressions of fear and happiness is reported, providing direct evidence that the humangdala is engaged in processing the emotional salience of faces, with a specificity of response to fearful facial expressions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A specific neural substrate for perceiving facial expressions of disgust

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to examine the neural substrate for perceiving disgust expressions and found the neural response to facial expressions of disgust in others is thus closely related to appraisal of distasteful stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

A neuromodulatory role for the human amygdala in processing emotional facial expressions

TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging confirmed that the amygdala and some of its functionally connected structures mediate specific neural responses to fearful expressions and demonstrated that amygdalar responses predict expression-specific neural activity in extrastriate cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the recognition of facial identity and facial expression

TL;DR: A dominant view in face-perception research has been that the recognition of facial identity and facial expression involves separable visual pathways at the functional and neural levels, and data from experimental, neuropsychological, functional imaging and cell-recording studies are commonly interpreted within this framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropsychology of fear and loathing.

TL;DR: The amygdala is involved in processing facial signals of fear and in fear conditioning, and this conclusion has emerged from evidence converging from the analysis of animals with amygdala lesions, from patients with bilateral amygdala damage and from functional imaging experiments in healthy individuals.
