Prefrontal cortex activity triggered by affective faces exposure and its relationship with neuroticism
Individual differences in socioaffective skills influence the neural bases of fear processing: The case of alexithymia
Being exposed to fear signals makes us feel threatened and prompts us to prepare an adaptive response. In our previous studies, we suggested that amygdala (AMG) and premotor cortex (PM) play a role…
Affective Response to a Loved One's Pain: Insula Activity as a Function of Individual Differences
TLDR
It is demonstrated that affective-cognitive style is associated with insula activity in pain empathy processing, suggesting a greater involvement of the insula in feelings for a certain cohort of people.

Neuroticism modulates amygdala—prefrontal connectivity in response to negative emotional facial expressions
Atypical neural activation associated with implicit negative emotional facial processing in fMRI tasks in individuals with neuroticism personality traits
Neuroticism is a personality trait that reflects emotional instability and is related to negative emotions, such as sensitivity to negative information and negative appraisal. Existing studies on the…

Individual Differences in Typical Reappraisal Use Predict Amygdala and Prefrontal Responses
Altered Medial Frontal and Superior Temporal Response to Implicit Processing of Emotions in Autism
TLDR
The findings suggest that the neural mechanisms underlying implicit, but not explicit, emotion processing may be altered at multiple levels in individuals with ASD.

Modulating emotional responses: effects of a neocortical network on the limbic system
TLDR
Functional MRI results provide evidence for a network in which higher regions attenuate emotional responses at the most fundamental levels in the brain and suggest a neural basis for modulating emotional experience through interpretation and labeling.
Neocortical modulation of the amygdala response to fearful stimuli
How do we modulate our emotions? Parametric fMRI reveals cortical midline structures as regions specifically involved in the processing of emotional valences.

Neural Correlates of Conscious Self-Regulation of Emotion
TLDR
Findings reinforce the view that emotional self-regulation is normally implemented by a neural circuit comprising various prefrontal regions and subcortical limbic structures and suggest that humans have the capacity to influence the electrochemical dynamics of their brains, by voluntarily changing the nature of the mind processes unfolding in the psychological space.
Medial prefrontal cortex and self-referential mental activity: Relation to a default mode of brain function
TLDR
The presence of self-referential mental activity appears to be associated with increases from the baseline in dorsal MPFC, and reductions in ventral MPFC occurred consistent with the fact that attention-demanding tasks attenuate emotional processing.
