Trauma modulates amygdala and medial prefrontal responses to consciously attended fear (2006, background): “Fearful face stimuli have been found to be a robust and reliable probe for amygdala activity (Hariri et al., 2002; Phan et al., 2002).”
Brain Systems Mediating Cognitive Interference by Emotional Distraction (2006, background): “The pattern of activation observed in the ventral regions (e.g., the amygdala and the vlPFC) is consistent with abundant evidence associating these regions with various aspects of emotional processing (Davidson and Irwin, 1999; Phan et al., 2002).”
The experience of emotion. (2007, positive): “…specificity in the circuitry that supports the experience and perception of emotion in humans, as evidenced by two recent meta-analyses (Murphy et al. 2003, Phan et al. 2002) summarizing the first decade of neuroimaging (fMRI and PET) research on emotion (for a review, see Barrett & Wager 2006).”
The Impact of Alexithymia on Anxiety Disorders: a Review of the Literature (2008, background): “Several models have been proposed to explain how the brain mediates emotion in order to elucidate the neurobiological substrates of alexithymia [18].”
Are Emotions Natural Kinds? (2006, neutral): “3a in Murphy et al., 2003) involved cognitive demand.”
Brain activation associated with evaluative processes of guilt and embarrassment: an fMRI study (2004, background): “) emotions (Phan et al., 2002), only a few studies on complex social emotions such as guilt, shame, and embarrassment have been reported.”
Neural pathways link social support to attenuated neuroendocrine stress responses (2007, background): “The subgenual portion of the ACC (subACC) has been shown to be involved in the experience of sadness and is altered in individuals with depression (Mayberg et al., 1999; Phan et al., 2002).”
Individual differences in trait anxiety predict the response of the basolateral amygdala to unconsciously processed fearful faces. (2004, background): “Differential maskingies than activation by fearful faces (Phan et al., 2002).”
Empathy for positive and negative emotions in the gustatory cortex (2007, background): “…states such as positive tastes and flavours (Zald et al., 2002, Small et al., 2003; O’Doherty et al., 2006; Nitschke et al., 2006; for a review see Phan et al., 2002) and a PET study has shown preliminary evidence for the fact that the vision of bodily pleasure in others causes activations of…”
Oxytocin improves "mind-reading" in humans. (2007, positive): “A large body of evidence shows that the amygdala and its cortical projections is crucially involved in the processing of emotional facial stimuli (Phan et al 2002).”
