Functional magnetic resonance imaging in consumer research: A review and application (2011, background): “In recent years, studies have increasingly shown that the amygdala also plays an important role in the processing of positive stimuli and rewards (Murray, 2007). ently, amygdala activation signals the salience of a stimulus and leads to an arousal effect.”
The neuropsychology of consumer behavior and marketing (2018, background): “Memory for aversive or fearful negative events is associated with activation in the amygdala (Murray, 2007).”
The contribution of neuroscience to consumer research: A conceptual framework and empirical review (2013, background): “To a minor extent, it has equally been shown to process positive emotions, usually in relation to rewarding stimuli (Murray, 2007).”
Reward Processing by the Opioid System in the Brain (2009, positive): “Beyond a critical involvement in emotional learning, the AMG plays a key role in reward evaluation and appetitive conditioning (21, 158, 262, 327).”
Reconsidering Anhedonia in Depression: Lessons from Translational Neuroscience (2010, background): “Finally, the amygdala also plays a role in evaluation of positive stimuli (Balleine and Killcross, 2006; Baxter and Murray, 2002; Murray, 2007).”
Measures of emotion: A review (2009, positive): “Additionally, other data have linked amygdala activation to negative emotions more generally (Cahill et al., 1996) and even to reward processing and positive emotional states (Canli, 2004; Murray, 2007).”
Neurocircuitry of Addiction (2009, background): “The amygdala may be equally important for processing positive reward (Murray, 2007) and reward expectancy (Holland and Gallagher, 2004), similar to processing negative reward.”
The Neurobiology of Anhedonia and Other Reward-Related Deficits (2011, background): “Among other functions, the amygdala is involved in the evaluation of rewards (reviewed in [78–81]).”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, positive): “…amygdala activity is observed when animals learn to associate neutral stimuli with rewarding outcomes (e.g., Paton et al. 2006; for a review see Murray 2007), why amygdala activity corresponds to evaluative goals in the presence of both positive and negative stimuli (e.g., Cunningham et al.…”
The Reward Circuit: Linking Primate Anatomy and Human Imaging (2010, background): “The amygdala has an important role in reward processing, in part through the critical interactions between it and VS for stimulus-reward associations (Baxter and Murray, 2002; Cador et al, 1989; Everitt et al, 1989, 1999; Murray, 2007; Ramirez and Savage, 2007).”
Emotion Regulation in Older Age (2010, background): “However, the amygdala is also involved in generating positive emotional states (Murray, 2007), so if reduced amygdala activation leads to decreased negative affect, it should also lead to decreased positive affect.”
Cognitive bias as an indicator of animal emotion and welfare: Emerging evidence and underlying mechanisms (2009, background): “Modulation of amygdala and OFC activity may also influence the incentive salience of both positive and negative events (Rolls, 2005; Murray, 2007).”
