Consciousness without a cerebral cortex: A challenge for neuroscience and medicine (2007, neutral): “They can be activated by sensory detection or simple perception of an ecologically valid stimulus and do not require conceptual thought (Ohman 2005).”
Emotional facial expressions evoke faster orienting responses, but weaker emotional responses at neural and behavioural levels compared to scenes: A simultaneous EEG and facial EMG study (2016, neutral): “Some have suggested that the early discrimination of fearful from neutral faces is due to crude threat or signs of danger which rapidly activate neural circuits specialised for detecting danger (e.g. Esteves et al., 1994; Hansen and Hansen, 1988; LeDoux, 2003; Öhman, 2005; Öhman and Mineka, 2001).”
A meta-analysis of instructed fear studies: Implications for conscious appraisal of threat (2010, neutral): “…threshold and thus inaccessible to phenomenal awareness, yet induces CRs (Critchley et al., 2002; Esteves et al., 1994; Morris et al., 1998; Ohman, 2005; Olsson and Phelps, 2004), constitute one (although not uncontroversial (Lovibond and Shanks, 2002)) type of situation wherein…”
Toward an evolutionary social neuroscience of religion (2011, background): “These include the amygdala, which is active during motivated states of arousal, threat, and fear (Ledoux, 1998 ; Ohman, 2005 ) and may be less active among religious people after they are exposed to acoustic startles (Inzlicht & Tullett, 2010 ).”
Single-Sex Education and the Brain (2013, background): “The amygdala, for instance, is known to participate in face recognition (Gobbini and Haxby 2007), social perception (Adolphs and Spezio 2006), emotional memory (Buchanan 2007), fear (Ohman 2005), decision-making (Gupta et al.”
Basic Emotions, Natural Kinds, Emotion Schemas, and a New Paradigm (2007, neutral): “…derive from evolutionarily adapted neurobiological systems, and they emerge early in ontogeny (Buck, 1999; Damasio, 1999; Darwin, 1872/1965; Dimberg, Thunberg, & Elmehed, 2000; Ekman, 1994; Izard, 1971; Langer, 1967; Lundqvist & Öhman, 2005; Öhman & Mineka, 2001; Panksepp, 2000; Plutchik, 1980).”
Annual Research Review: Enduring neurobiological effects of childhood abuse and neglect (2016, neutral): “Most studies specifically analyze the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response of the amygdala to negative versus neutral images to provide information on the functional properties of a brain circuit involved in threat detection, evaluation and response (Ohman, 2005; Suslow, et al., 2006).”
Mechanisms of Attentional Biases towards Threat in the Anxiety Disorders: An Integrative Review (2009, neutral): “The work on attention to threat by Öhman (1996, 2005) and Öhman andWiens (2004) has generally focused on attention to threat as an evolutionary adaptive process, with particular emphasis on the unconscious processing of threat.”
Threat and defense: From anxiety to approach (2014, neutral): “…emotional responses generated in the subcortical amygdala (Hooker & Knight, 2006; Kanske, Heissler, Schonfelder, Bongers, & Wessa, 2011; Ohira et al., 2006; Öhman, 2005; Phan et al., 2005), peripheral physiological responses (Ohira et al., 2006), and emotional states (Lévesque et al., 2003).”
What is reinforced by phasic dopamine signals? (2008, neutral): “While there may be cell-types that can perform broad species specific stimulus classifications (de Gelder and Hadjikhani, 2006; Johnson, 2005; Ohman, 2005), collicular neurones are ill-equipped to conduct detailed analyses of scenes and objects.”
A meta-analytic review of emotion recognition and aging: implications for neuropsychological models of aging. (2008, background): “Less is known about individual emotions, although angry, sad and unpleasant sounds involve the OFC (Hornak et al., 2003; Sander et al., 2005) and amygdala (Scott et al., 1997), and fear sounds involve the amygdala (Morris et al., 1999; Scott et al., 1997; although see Pourtois et al., 2005) and insu”
