Functional Neuroanatomy of Emotion: A Meta-Analysis of Emotion Activation Studies in PET and fMRI (2002, background): “Given this proposed role of emotion in maintaining homeostasis, Damasio et al. (2000) suggest that these regions, while engaged in the recall and self-generation of affect, monitor the ongoing internal emotional state of the organism, and may represent the neural correlates of mental states known…”
Decision-making and addiction (part II): myopia for the future or hypersensitivity to reward? (2002, background): “Representations of these signals can remain covert at the level of the brainstem, or can reach the insular/SII, SI cortices and posterior cingulate cortices and be perceived as a feeling [19,39].”
Implications of Affective and Social Neuroscience for Educational Theory (2011, neutral): “In this article, I lay out two general, complementary findings that have emerged from the past decade of neuroscience research on emotion and social processing, with a view to beginning a dialogue about the meaning of these findings for educational theory.”
Neuroimaging of the Periaqueductal Gray: State of the Field (2011, background): “Damasio et al. (2000) found that self generated feelings of sadness, anger, happiness and fear all led to midbrain activation.”
The seven sins of evolutionary psychology (2001, background): “Indeed, when humans have strong affective experiences, higher cortical regions tend to shut down (DAMASIO et al. 2000; FISCHER et al. 2000).”
Defensive reactions to health-promoting information: an overview and implications for future research (2013, background): “In contrast to the rapid affective reactions discussed earlier, the conscious experience of emotions appears not to be primarily dependent on the amygdala, but on the insula, an area of the brain that connects to the amygdala (Damasio et al, 2000 ).”
Prospection and the Present Moment: The Role of Episodic Foresight in Intertemporal Choices between Immediate and Delayed Rewards (2016, neutral): “T hi s ar tic le is in te nd ed so le ly fo r th e pe rs on al us e of th e in di vi du al us er an d is no t to be di ss em in at ed br oa dl y. emotional reaction (Damasio, 1994; Damasio et al., 2000).”
Assessment of positive emotions in animals to improve their welfare. (2007, background): “Damasio [16] claims that the consciousness of an emotion corresponds to the knowledge of the ability to experience emotions.”
Towards the neurobiology of emotional body language (2006, positive): “This is consistent with neural activity in cortical areas that provide internal representations of one’s bodily state 41 , such as the anterior insula, which is important in connecting the medial prefrontal cortex and the limbic system, and, in turn, has a role in interoception 42 .”
On the Embodied Neural Nature of Core Emotional Affects (2005, background): “Only a few have used imaging technologies optimally focused on subcortical systems that animal experiments have long implicated in the genesis of emotional feelings (e.g., Damasio et al., 2000) and sensory affects such as orgasms (Holstege et al., 2003).”
When emotional valence modulates audiovisual integration (2012, positive): “…LeDoux, 1992; Quirk, Armony, & LeDoux, 1997) and neuroimaging studies in humans (Büchel, Morris, Dolan, & Friston, 1998) have provided evidence that the amygdala plays a pivotal role, especially in the acquisition phase of emotional learning (see also Damasio et al., 2000; Dougherty et al., 1999).”
Anger is an approach-related affect: evidence and implications. (2009, background): “For instance, Damasio et al. (2000) observed left lateralization during anger imagery in the anterior cingulate.”
