Common and distinct brain networks underlying explicit emotional evaluation: a meta-analytic study

摘要: Brain mechanisms underlying explicit evaluation of emotion have been explored using different tasks including ‘stimulus-focused evaluation’, ‘evaluation one's own emotion’ and others’ emotions’. Yet the extent to which similar brain underlie is unclear. A meta-analysis published neuroimaging studies emotional was conducted examine common distinct regions these tasks. This study revealed all three tasks: The amygdala LPFC as may be involved in emotion–cognition interactions, DMPFC possibly play integrative roles evaluation. Distinct were also identified: (i) sensory cortex VLPFC specifically associated with ‘stimulus perceptual conceptual processing; (ii) insula rACC emotion’, potentially interoceptive experiential (iii) STS TPJ emotions’, reflecting their TOM empathy. These findings suggest that types involve networks provide new insights on multiple
