Perceiving fear in dynamic body expressions (2007, background): “Amygdala and mid-fusiform cortex have consistently been associated with viewing facial expressions of fear (Adolphs, 2002; Dolan, 2002; Haxby et al., 2002).”
Facial expressions and complex IAPS pictures: Common and differential networks (2006, background): “The insula has been shown to be involved in processing emotional expression in others (Haxby et al., 2002) and insular projections to inferior prefrontal cortex and amygdala may convey motivation and social information from these stimuli (Critchley et al.”
On Construing Others: Category and Stereotype Activation from Facial Cues (2006, background): “Dovetailing on these developmental findings i s n europsychologic al e vidence demonstrating that the mechanisms perceivers employ to process faces are supported by a discrete network of brain regions ( Haxby, Hoffman, & Gobbini, 2002; Kanwisher, 2000; Kanwisher, McDermott, & Chun, 1997).”
Activation of the fusiform gyrus when individuals with autism spectrum disorder view faces (2004, background): “Face perception is mediated by a distributed neural system (for reviews, see Haxby et al., 2000, 2002).”
Finally, faces find favor (2006, background): “Consistent with this interpretation, there is some evidence that perceivers respond to other–race faces with greater activation in brain regions that are specialized for processing objects rather than faces, such as the ventral temporal cortex (Haxby et al., 2002; Ishai, Ungerleider, Martin, Schoute”
The social re-orientation of adolescence: a neuroscience perspective on the process and its relation to psychopathology (2005, methodology): “An additional region along the superior temporal sulcus (STS) seems to be involved in the processing of biological movement (Allison et al. 2000; Vaina et al. 2001; Haxby et al. 2002; Puce & Perrett, 2003; Jellema et al. 2004).”
A boy primed Sue: feature‐based processing and person construal (2007, background): “In this respect, the face is unquestionably the most prominent category-cueing stimulus in the person-perception process (Bruce & Young, 1986; Haxby, Hoffman, & Gobbini, 2000, 2002; Zebrowitz, 1997).”
Emotional perception: Meta-analyses of face and natural scene processing (2011, background): “Inferior frontal clusters associated with facial emotion studies is also well supported in the literature (Adolphs, 2002; Haxby et al., 2002), however the superior and lateral location of the bilateral clusters relative to those associated with emotional scene studies is as yet undocumented.”
The Amygdala Is Enlarged in Children But Not Adolescents with Autism; the Hippocampus Is Enlarged at All Ages (2004, background): “These include face processing (Grelotti et al., 2002; Haxby et al., 2002), recognition of emotions (Adolphs, 2002; Adolphs et al., 2003), enhancement of memory for emotionally significant events (Cahill et al., 1995; Canli et al., 2000), and predicting reward values (Gottfried et al., 2003).”
A face with a cue: exploring the inevitability of person categorization (2007, background): “Operating in a mandatory fashion, these basic visual processes extract feature-based information from faces (e.g., hair cues, gaze direction), information that supports a range of person-related judgments, including sex categorization ( Haxby, Hoffman, & Gobbini, 2000, 2002 ).”
