Effects of intensity of facial expressions on amygdalar activation independently of valence

Effects of intensity of facial expressions on amygdalar activation independently of valence

For several stimulus categories (e.g., pictures, odors and words), the arousal of both negative and positive stimuli has been shown to modulate amygdalar activation. In contrast, previous studies did not observe similar amygdalar effects in response to negative and positive facial expressions with v...
