Neuroimaging Support for Discrete Neural Correlates of Basic Emotions: A Voxel-based Meta-analysis (2010, methodology): “The amygdala has been shown to direct attention to threat cues by modulating activity in primary visual cortex, as evidenced by effective connectivity (Pessoa, McKenna, Gutierrez, & Ungerleider, 2002 ) and lesion research (Vuilleumier, Richardson, Armony, Driver, & Dolan, 2004 ).”
A systems approach to appraisal mechanisms in emotion (2005, positive): “…may not only activate the amygdala, but may also produce greater activation of face-selective areas in the fusiform cortex (Armony & Dolan, 2002; Vuilleumier et al., 2001, 2004), presumably through direct feedback from the amygdala (Davis & Whalen, 2001; LeDoux, 1996; Vuilleumier et al., 2004).”

Developmental deficits in social perception in autism: the role of the amygdala and fusiform face area (2005, background): “However, posterior regions of the FG showed strong attentional effects, in that activation was increased significantly when participants focused on the eye region as opposed to other aspects of the display.”
A Developmental Examination of Amygdala Response to Facial Expressions (2008, background): “Evidence suggests that the amygdala has strong bidirectional connections with the ventral visual processing stream (Amaral & Price, 1984) and that increased fusiform activation is related to greater input from the amygdala ( Vuilleumier, Richardson, Armony, Driver, & Dolan, 2004; Morris et al., 199”
Emotional perception: Meta-analyses of face and natural scene processing (2011, background): “…gyrus, has been consistently associated with the perception of human faces (Haxby et al., 2000; Puce et al., 1995; Kanwisher et al., 1999), and has been shown to be more active during expressive (e.g., fearful) face processing than neutral faces (Morris et al., 1998, Vuilleumier et al, 2001, 2004).”
Emotion and attention: event-related brain potential studies. (2006, background): “Second, a recent study observed that patients with amygdala lesions did not show enhanced activity to fearful faces in the fusiform and occipital gyri, which was indeed found for a group of healthy controls (Vuilleumier et al., 2004).”
Memory for Specific Visual Details can be Enhanced by Negative Arousing Content. (2006, result): “This hypothesis is consistent with neuroimaging data indicating that visual activity is greater during the processing of emotional information compared to neutral information (Lang et al., 1998; Vuilleumier, Richardson, Armony, Driver, & Dolan, 2004; Wang, McCarthy, Song, & LaBar, 2005) and that t”
Selective for Whole Faces in the Human Amygdala (2011, background): “Such a role for amygdala modulation of temporal visual cortex is also supported by BOLD-fMRI studies in humans that have compared signals to faces in patients with lesions to the amygdala [47].”
Neural bases of the non-conscious perception of emotional signals (2010, background): “In line with this, enhanced processing of emotional stimuli in the extrastriate cortex is abolished by lesions to the amygdala that leave the visual cortex intac”
Emotion processing and the amygdala: from a ‘low road’ to ‘many roads’ of evaluating biological significance (2010, positive): “In addition, there are loops between the visual cortex and the lateral and basal nuclei of the amygdala, and this feedback is thought to modulate visual processin”
