Are you always on my mind? A review of how face perception and attention interact. (2007, background): “Neuroimaging studies often show that the amygdala is actied by fearful and fear-conditioned angry faces that are oute awareness (for review see Zald, 2003).”
Brain Systems Mediating Cognitive Interference by Emotional Distraction (2006, background): “The ventral affective system includes brain regions involved in emotional processing, such as the amygdala, ventrolateral PFC (vlPFC), and medial PFC (Davidson and Irwin, 1999; Davis and Whalen, 2001; Phan et al., 2002; Zald, 2003).”
Images of desire: food-craving activation during fMRI (2004, positive): “Over the years, it has been hypothesized that the amygdala is activated by negative emotion in particular or by emotional stimuli in general, that it responds to learned salience or to novelty (Zald, 2003).”
Emotional perception: Meta-analyses of face and natural scene processing (2011, background): “The amygdala has a well-established role in the emotional discrimination of faces and natural scenes (Fusar-Poli et al., 2009; Sabatinelli et al., 2009; Zald, 2001).”
Sequence of information processing for emotions based on the anatomic dialogue between prefrontal cortex and amygdala (2007, background): “…from the amygdala to prefrontal cortices may have a prominent role in focusing attention on motivationally relevant stimuli, consistent with the role of the amygdala in emotional alertness and vigilance (reviewed in Gallagher and Holland, 1994; LeDoux, 2000; Davis and Whalen, 2001; Zald, 2003).”
The neurobiology of positive emotions. (2006, background): “Brain imaging studies reveal that PA inducing stimuli such as music (Blood and Zatorre, 2001) odor (reviewed in Zald, 2003), self-generated PA (Damasio et al., 2000) and male orgasm (Holstege et al., 2003) decrease amygdala activation.”
The Neural Substrate of Human Empathy: Effects of Perspective-taking and Cognitive Appraisal (2007, background): “Interestingly, the amygdala receives nociceptive information from the spino-parabrachial pain system and the insula, and its activity appears closely tied to the context and level of aversiveness of the stimuli (Zald, 2003).”
Individual Differences in Reward Drive Predict Neural Responses to Images of Food (2006, background): “, orbitofrontal cortex, amygdala, and ventral striatum) have also been associated with processing aversive stimuli (Heining et al., 2003; Jensen et al., 2003; Zald, 2003; Kringelbach and Rolls, 2004), we also included an aversive food category comprising pictures of disgusting foods (e.”
Understanding depressive rumination from a cognitive science perspective: the impaired disengagement hypothesis. (2011, background): “First, emotional stimuli activate the amygdala (Zald, 2003), which in turn signals to the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC).”
The influence of negative emotions on pain: Behavioral effects and neural mechanisms (2009, positive): “Following the engagement by aversive stimuli such as pain, the amygdala affects a number of cognitive processes important for pain, namely the guidance of attention, conditioning as a form of learning, and memory retrieval (for an overview see Zald, 2003).”
The Amygdala and Persistent Pain (2004, background): “…in emotionality, the emotional evaluation of sensory stimuli, emotional learning, and memory, as well as affective disorders, including anxiety and depression (Davis 1998; Gallagher and Schoenbaum 1999; Maren 1999; Aggleton 2000; LeDoux 2000; Cardinal and others 2002; Davidson 2002; Zald 2003).”
The Neural Correlates of Third-Party Punishment (2008, positive): “, amygdala, medial prefrontal cortex, and posterior cingulated cortex) consistently linked to social and emotional processing (Adolphs, 2002; Amodio and Frith, 2006; Barrett et al., 2007; Lieberman, 2007; Phelps, 2006; Phillips et al., 2003; Zald, 2003) is associated with the amount of assigned puni”
