Predictors of amygdala activation during the processing of emotional stimuli: A meta-analysis of 385 PET and fMRI studies
Abstract
Although amygdala activity has been purported to be modulated by affective and non-affective factors, considerable controversy remains on its precise functional nature. We conducted a meta-analysis of 385 functional neuroimaging studies of emotional processing, examining the effects of experimental characteristics on the probability of detecting amygdala activity. All emotional stimuli were associated with higher probability of amygdala activity than neutral stimuli. Comparable effects were observed for most negative and positive emotions, however there was a higher probability of activation for fear and disgust relative to happiness. The level of attentional processing affected amygdala activity, as passive processing was associated with a higher probability of activation than active task instructions. Gustatory-olfactory and visual stimulus modalities increased the probability of activation relative to internal stimuli. Aversive learning increased the probability of amygdala activation as well. There was some evidence of hemispheric specialization with a relative left-lateralization for stimuli containing language and a relative right-lateralization for masked stimuli. Methodological variables, such as type of analysis and magnet strength, were also independent predictors of amygdala activation.

This result replicates earlier meta-analytic evidence and agrees with the hypothesis that the amygdala responds preferentially to salient exteroceptive rather than interoceptive sensations.
“This finding replicates prior meta-analytic evidence (Costafreda et al. 2008) and is consistent with our hypothesis that the amygdala responds preferentially to salient exteroceptive (vs. interoceptive) sensations.”

The amygdala is a central structure in emotional processing, and the ACC and OFC are also critical substrates of the affective-cognitive interface.
“while the amygdala is a central structure in emotional processing (Costafreda, 2008), ACC and OFC are also critical substrates of the affectivecognitive interface.”

The amygdala also supports stimulus-reinforcement learning for positive stimuli.

Adults show increased amygdala activation to fear faces relative to baseline, and children show similar activation while adolescents show heightened activation.
“When viewing fear faces, adult humans show an increase in amygdala activation relative to amygdala activation during a baseline condition”
From Neural Substrates of Childhood Anxiety Disorders (2012) · cites this paper as [16]
Passive viewing tasks show greater amygdala activation than tasks with specific demands, likely reflecting engagement of emotion regulation regions.
“Neuroimaging studies using a passive viewing task—in which attention is not specifically constrained by the task—show greater amygdala activation than studies that use a specific task, such as gender discrimination or emotion rating.16,17”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
