The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, result): “This finding replicates prior meta-analytic evidence (Costafreda et al. 2008) and is consistent with our hypothesis that the amygdala responds preferentially to salient exteroceptive (vs. interoceptive) sensations.”
Childhood Adversity and Neural Development: A Systematic Review (2019, background): “…and the mobilization of defensive responses to external stimuli (LeDoux 2003, 2012), although it is well established that the amygdala responds not only to threatening cues but also to a wide variety of stimuli that have motivational salience (Costafreda et al. 2008, Fusar-Poli et al. 2009).”
A common allele in the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) impacts prosocial temperament and human hypothalamic-limbic structure and function (2010, background): “Consistent with these findings, complex interacting and mutually inhibiting neuropeptide effects have been identified on the level of cellular physiology in the amygdala (69, 75), where distinct populations of neurons encode for the emotional and social salience of positively and negatively valenced”
Investigating the Functional Heterogeneity of the Default Mode Network Using Coordinate-Based Meta-Analytic Modeling (2009, methodology): “ALE has been used to investigate the reliability of results in many studies of healthy brain function (Decety and Lamm, 2007; Costafreda et al., 2008; Chan et al., 2009; Soros et al., 2009) and mental disorders (Menzies et al., 2008; Minzenberg et al., 2009; Ragland et al.,…”
Neuroimaging cognitive reappraisal in clinical populations to define neural targets for enhancing emotion regulation. A systematic review (2016, background): “During downregulation of negative emotions, individuals with mood disorders showed enhanced activation levels in the amygdala, a core region of the emotion network (Costafreda et al., 2008).”
Self-report captures 27 distinct categories of emotion bridged by continuous gradients (2017, neutral): “…brain regions activated during reported emotional experiences have focused on valence and arousal or the six basic emotions (25, 26, 28, 29, 34, 35, 42, 44, 47–49), leaving out the many other varieties of reported emotional experience that we ﬁnd reliably occur in distinct situations and that…”
