Emotion and personality factors influence the neural response to emotional stimuli

Fionnuala C Murphy et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

Lindquist et al. assess the neural evidence for locationist versus psychological construction accounts of human emotion. A wealth of experimental and clinical investigations show that individual differences in emotion and personality influence emotion processing. These factors may also influence the brain's response to emotional stimuli. A synthesis of the relevant neuroimaging data must therefore take these factors into consideration.
