Decoding the role of the insula in human cognition: functional parcellation and large-scale reverse inference. (2013, background): “…with both the experience and observation (Wicker et al. 2003) of disgust to both taste and smell (Phillips et al. 1997), anticipatory anxiety (Phelps et al. 2001; Berns et al. 2006), feelings of anger (Damasio et al. 2000; Denson et al. 2009), guilt (Chang et al. 2011), and also moral…”
Political Neuroscience: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship (2014, background): “Given that the amygdala is associated with responses to uncertainty, threat, and other motivationally salient stimuli (e.g., Cunningham et al., 2008; Phelps et al., 2001; Whalen, 2007), Nam, Jost, Campbell-Meiklejohn, et al. (2013) hypothesized that system-justifying tendencies would be associated…”
Emotional States from Affective Dynamics (2013, background): “…responses they typically involve processing in the subcortical brain, specifically the amygdala and ventral striatum (nucleus accumbens) are likely based on innate biases (e.g., LeDoux, 1996; Öhman & Mineka, 2001) and learning (e.g., Armony & Dolan, 2002; Phelps et al., 2001; Whalen et al., 1998).”
Neural Correlates of the Automatic Processing of Threat Facial Signals (2003, positive): “, 1998a, 1998b), the present findings suggest that cortical processing can significantly modulate the amygdala response (Phelps et al., 2001; Ochsner et al., 2002).”
Social cognition (2008, background): “People can also learn by instruction (Phelps et al. 2001), that is, by being told that the stimulus (e.”
Neurobiology of emotion perception I: The neural basis of normal emotion perception. (2003, background): “Functional neuroimaging studies have implicated the insula in delay fear conditioning (Buchel et al 1999) and during the anticipation of an aversive stimulus (Phelps et al 2001), suggestive of a role for this structure in conveying the representation of aversive sensory information to Figure 1.”
Anxiety Reduction through Detachment: Subjective, Physiological, and Neural Effects (2005, methodology): “The other anticipatory anxiety studies in the literature (Wager et al., 2004; Phelps et al., 2001) do not report coordinates and were not considered.”
A meta-analysis of instructed fear studies: Implications for conscious appraisal of threat (2010, background): “, 2001) and one fMRI study (Phelps et al., 2001), it has been argued that the amygdala, in particular the left amygdala, is required for instructed fear, although more in terms of CR expression than contingency learning (Olsson and Phelps, 2007).”
A Developmental Shift from Positive to Negative Connectivity in Human Amygdala-Prefrontal Circuitry (2013, background): “semantic stimuli, such as faces (Markowitsch, 1998; Phelps et al., 2001; Sergerie et al., 2008).”
For better or for worse: neural systems supporting the cognitive down- and up-regulation of negative emotion (2004, background): “, 2000), the mental representation of an event that is eliciting fear (Phelps et al., 2001), and the induction of sad moods through verbal scripts (Schneider et al.”

Activity in ventromedial prefrontal cortex covaries with sympathetic skin conductance level: a physiological account of a "default mode" of brain function (2004, background): “In particular, the amygdala exerts an influence on autonomic responses including skin conductance activity (Asahina et al., 2003; LeDoux, 1996; Phelps et al., 2001; Williams et al., 2001).”
Neural development of selective attention and response inhibition (2003, background): “Studies have shown activation in the amygdala during positive and negative feedback (Zalla et al., 2000), positive and negative emotions (Iidaka et al., 2001; Sander and Scheich, 2001), as well as concrete and abstract fear conditioning (Morris et al., 2001; Phelps et al., 2001).”
Rethinking Feelings: An fMRI Study of the Cognitive Regulation of Emotion (2002, background): “In this context, the deactivation of the right amygdala and the left MOFC may reflect stimulus (as compared to verbally)driven processing of affective information by the amygdala (Phelps et al., 2001; Morris et al., 1999), and the observation that the right amygdala and the left orbitofrontal cortex”
Fear extinction in rats: implications for human brain imaging and anxiety disorders. (2006, background): “Most studies of fear conditioning have focused on acquisition rather than extinction (see for example, Fischer et al., 2000; Armony and Dolan, 2001; Phelps et al., 2001; Fischer et al., 2002; Cheng et al., 2003).”
