Neural Correlates of Positive and Negative Emotion Regulation (2007, background): “The regulation-related activity observed in the right OFC related to changes in self-reported on-line arousal may reflect subjective awareness of emotional states and their intensity (Schirmer & Kotz, 2006).”

The Neural Integration of Speaker and Message (2008, background): “Recent evidence suggests that mismatches between emotional prosody and emotional word meaning (e.g., ‘‘failure’’) also modulate the N400 (Schirmer & Kotz, 2006; Schirmer, Kotz, & Friederici, 2002, 2005).”
Predictors of amygdala activation during the processing of emotional stimuli: a meta-analysis of 385 PET and fMRI studies. (2008, background): “Preferential activation of the left amygdala by language could be part of the general left hemispheric dominance for language (Schirmer and Kotz, 2006), and some authors further suggest a specialization for language function in the left amygdala (Phelps et al., 2001; Markowitsch, 1998).”
