Amygdala response to happy faces as a function of extraversion
Abstract
Cognitive neuroscience aims to delineate principles of brain-behavior relations by characterizing both common mechanisms across, and individual differences among, individuals. Both approaches are relevant for the study of the amygdala, a critical structure for the processing of emotional signals ([1

From Functional Brain Basis of Hypnotizability (2012) · cites this paper as [80]
The VS reacts to both positively and negatively valenced contexts, and the amygdala reacts to both negatively and positively valenced contexts.
“Indeed, the VS reacts to not only positively valenced contexts but also negative ones (e.g., peer acceptance and rejection; Gunther Moor et al., 2010; Guyer et al., 2015, Guyer et al., 2012a, Guyer et al., 2012b), and the amygdala reacts to not only negatively valenced contexts but also positive ones (e.g., fearful and happy faces; Canli et al., 2002, or negative/threatening and positive/interest”

The amygdala is reactive to not only fearful faces but also happy ones.
“For example, it is reactive to not only fearful faces but also happy ones (Canli et al., 2002, Guyer et al., 2008, Pérez-Edgar et al., 2007).”

“Similarly, the fact that both appetitive and aversive stimuli activate the amgydala in fMRI studies (e.g., Canli et al., 2002; Hamann et al., 2002; Lane et al., 1999) does not mean that these stimuli are processed the same by the amygdala.”

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.
