Trust and valence processing in the amygdala.
In this issue of SCAN, Todorov and Engell report a new study showing not only that human amygdala activation to faces is most strongly modulated by the perceived (un)trustworthiness of faces among a series of 14 personality trait dimensions (such as attractiveness, aggressiveness, intelligence, caring, and so forth), but also that such effects appear to reflect a more general response to negati...
متن کاملContributions of the Amygdala to Emotion Processing: From Animal Models to Human Behavior
Research on the neural systems underlying emotion in animal models over the past two decades has implicated the amygdala in fear and other emotional processes. This work stimulated interest in pursuing the brain mechanisms of emotion in humans. Here, we review research on the role of the amygdala in emotional processes in both animal models and humans. The review is not exhaustive, but it highl...
متن کاملSex-specific processing of social cues in the medial amygdala
Animal-animal recognition within, and across species, is essential for predator avoidance and social interactions. Despite its essential role in orchestrating responses to animal cues, basic principles of information processing by the vomeronasal system are still unknown. The medial amygdala (MeA) occupies a central position in the vomeronasal pathway, upstream of hypothalamic centers dedicated...
متن کاملLateralized interactive social content and valence processing within the human amygdala
In the past, the amygdala has generally been conceptualized as a fear-processing module. Recently, however, it has been proposed to respond to all stimuli that are relevant with respect to the current needs, goals, and values of an individual. This raises the question of whether the human amygdala may differentiate between separate kinds of relevance. A distinction between emotional (vs. neutra...
