We tend to express more positive judgments and behaviors toward individuals belonging our own group compared other (out-) groups. In this study, we assessed the role of cerebellum dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) - two regions critically implicated in social cognition processes mediating implicit valenced attitudes in-group out-group individuals. To aim, used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combination with a standard attitude priming task, which Caucasian participants had...
Emotion processing is known to be mediated by a complex network of cortical and subcortical regions with evidence specialized hemispheric lateralization within the brain. In light prior indicating that cognitive functions (such as language) may depend on normal visual development, we investigated whether lack experience would have an impact development in emotional processing.We addressed this issue comparing performance early blind sighted controls dichotic listening task requiring...
Mere affiliation with a social group alters people's perception of other individuals. One suggested mechanism behind such influence is that membership triggers divergent visual facial representations for in-group and out-group members, which could constrain face processing. Here, using electroencephalography (EEG) under functional magnetic resonance imagery (fMRI) during categorization task, we investigated the impact mere to an arbitrary on processing emotional faces. The results indicate...
Converging neuroimaging and patient data suggest that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is involved in emotional processing. However, it still not clear whether DLPFC left right hemisphere differentially emotion recognition depending on considered. Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to shed light possible causal role of encoding valence positive negative facial expressions. Participants were required indicate a series faces displayed or expression, while TMS was...
