The orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala are involved in emotion and in motivation, but the
relationship between these functions performed by these brain structures is not clear. To …

Existing models propose that primate visual cortex is divided into two functionally distinct
pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …

Social development has been the focus of a great deal of neuroscience based research over
the past decade. In this review, we focus on providing a framework for understanding how …

Studies of humans with focal brain damage and non-human animals with experimentally
induced brain lesions have provided pivotal insights into the neural basis of behavior. As the …

Functional neuroimaging research in the non-human primate (NHP) has been advancing at
a remarkable rate. The increase in available data establishes a need for robust analysis …

Depression is a serious public health problem, and adolescence is an 'age of risk'for the
onset of Major Depressive Disorder. Recently, we and others have proposed neuroimmune …

Extensive research has supported the existence of a specialized face-processing network
that is distinct from the visual processing areas used for general object recognition. The …

Anxiety is characterized by the anticipation of aversive future events. The importance of
prestimulus anticipatory factors, such as goals and expectations, is well-established in both …

Face processing is fundamental to primates and has been extensively studied in higher-
order visual cortex. Here, we report that visual neurons in the midbrain superior colliculus …

The human amygdala plays a key role in recognizing facial emotions and neurons in the
monkey and human amygdala respond to the emotional expression of faces. However, it …
