Sex differences in the perception of affective facial expressions: Do men really lack emotional sensitivity? (2005, background): “Canli et al. (2002) reported better memory for highly emotional events in women compared to men.”
Neural Bases of Motivated Reasoning: An fMRI Study of Emotional Constraints on Partisan Political Judgment in the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election (2006, background): “Second, because of data suggesting some differences in the processing of emotion in men and women ( Canli, Desmond, Zhao, & Gabrieli, 2002 ), we only studied men and hence cannot generalize to women without future investigation.”
Neuroimaging Contributions to the Understanding of Discourse Processes (2006, background): “Activation in this medial frontal area has also been found in tasks that involve emotional processing and more specifically, emotion related to memory ( Canli, et al., 2002; Nakic & Gabrielli, unpublished manuscript).”
Gender Differences in Human Brain: A Review (2010, neutral): “Specifically, the studies consistently indicate a preferential involvement of the left amygdala in memory for emotional material (generally visual images) in women, but a preferential involvement of the right amygdala in memory for the same material in men [49] [50] [51].”
For better or for worse: neural systems supporting the cognitive down- and up-regulation of negative emotion (2004, methodology): “We used only one sex because several studies have suggested that there are sex differences in response to negative visual materials (e.g., Canli et al., 2002; Cahill et al., 2001), and we wanted to avoid this source of variability.”
Why sex matters for neuroscience (2006, background): “Specifically, the studies consistently indicate a preferential involvement of the left amygdala in memory for emotional material (generally visual images) in women, but a preferential involvement of the right amygdala in memory for the same material in me”
