Stimulus-preceding negativity induced by fear: a manifestation of affective anticipation
Abstract
The Stimulus-Preceding Negativity (SPN), a slow cortical potential, has been studied in relation to anticipatory attention. A review of the literature suggests that most instances of SPN are observed in anticipation of motivational stimuli, such as aversive stimuli and stimuli that provide Knowledge of Results. In the present study, SPN was recorded in 12 subjects in a threat-of-shock experiment. This manipulation induced fear, as shown by subjective ratings and potentiation of the eyeblink startle. The fear-induced SPN showed a frontocentral maximum and coarse source analysis suggested that it was generated in midline frontal areas, possibly by the anterior cingulate cortex. It is concluded that the fear-induced SPN is a manifestation of affective anticipation. Possible thalamocortical and amygdalocortical contributions to its generation are discussed.

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.
