A meta-analysis of heart rate variability and neuroimaging studies: implications for heart rate variability as a marker of stress and health. (2012, background): “harmacological or electrical stimulation of the vmPFC, inhibit subortical threat circuits under some conditions and reduce ‘stress’ esponses and ‘fear’ behavior (Amat et al., 2008; Milad and Quirk, 002; Milad et al., 2004; Quirk and Beer, 2006).”
Neural network of cognitive emotion regulation — An ALE meta-analysis and MACM analysis (2013, background): “Previous reviews suggest a key role in these processes for the insula, anterior cingulate and prefrontal regions (e.g., Ochsner and Gross, 2005; Quirk and Beer 2006).”
Neural Mechanisms of Extinction Learning and Retrieval (2008, background): “Thus, optimal functioning in the hippocampal–prefrontal–amygdala network may be critical for normal emotional regulation, and may even determine certain personality traits (Rauch et al, 2005; Quirk and Beer, 2006; Hariri et al, 2006).”
Emotion Regulation and the Anxiety Disorders: An Integrative Review (2010, background): “…cortex (PFC), its subunits [e.g., medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), orbitofrontal cortex, (OFC)] and related structures [e.g., anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)], mediate attempts to regulate emotions (Davidson, Fox, & Kalin, 2007; Ochsner & Gross, 2008; 2005; Quirk, 2007; Quirk & Beer, 2006).”
Extinction circuits for fear and addiction overlap in prefrontal cortex. (2009, background): “These findings are consistent with a welldocumented role of the prefrontal cortex in executive function and emotional regulation (Miller 2000; Fuster 2002; Quirk and Beer 2006; Sotres-Bayon et al. 2006).”
The underlying anatomical correlates of long-term meditation: Larger hippocampal and frontal volumes of gray matter (2009, background): “According to Quirk and Beer (2006) , several analyses detected activation in orbito-frontal regions in association with suppressing or reappraising negative emotional stimuli and with suppressing the influence of negative emotional stimuli on subsequent behavior.”
Amygdala-frontal connectivity during emotion regulation. (2007, background): “Taken together, the data from animal and human studies point to a specific amygdala–frontal circuit of emotion generation and regulation (Davidson et al., 2000; Phan et al., 2002; Phillips et al., 2003a; Ochsner and Gross, 2005; Quirk and Beer, 2006).”
Functional neuroimaging of anxiety: a meta-analysis of emotional processing in PTSD, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobia. (2007, methodology): “Finally, we performed novel tests of coactivation across regions to test whether, across individual studies, limbic dysregulation is reliably associated with medial prefrontal dysfunction (41, 42).”
Using Neuroscience to Help Understand Fear and Anxiety: A Two-System Framework. (2016, background): “Medial cortical areas down-regulatetheamygdala inhealthyhumans(25,37),andthis capacity is weakened in people with anxiety disorders (26, 27).”
Brain mediators of cardiovascular responses to social threat, Part I: Reciprocal dorsal and ventral sub-regions of the medial prefrontal cortex and heart-rate reactivity (2009, background): “Recent neuroanatomical, lesion, and electrophysiological evidence also support a functional distinction between dorsal and ventral MPFC sub-regions (Quirk and Beer, 2006).”
Mindful emotion regulation: An integrative review. (2009, background): “It should be noted that research into the neural correlates of ER has generallyfocused on suppression and reappraisal (Ochsner & Gross, 2005; Quirk & Beer, 2006).”
Functional imaging studies of emotion regulation: A synthetic review and evolving model of the cognitive control of emotion (2012, neutral): “Rodent lesion studies have shown that whereas the initial acquisition of extinction requires only the amygdala, the ability to retain and express memory for extinction depends upon vmPFC 143 .”
