Emotions are valenced mental responses and associated physiological reactions that occur
spontaneously and automatically in response to internal or external stimuli, and can …

Animal models of threat processing have evolved beyond the amygdala to incorporate a
distributed neural network. In human research, evidence has intensified in recent years to …

The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced new challenges for governments and individuals.
Unprecedented efforts at reducing virus transmission launched a novel arena for human …

In the 2010s, significant progress has been made in several key areas of laterality research,
including neuroimaging, genetics and comparative research. In the present article, we …

Microstate analysis applied to electroencephalographic signals (EEG) allows both temporal
and spatial imaging exploration and represents the activity across the scalp. Despite its …

Emotional facial expressions lead to modulations of early event-related potentials (ERPs).
However, it has so far remained unclear how far these modulations represent face-specific …

Abstract The Right Hemisphere Hypothesis (RHH) posits that the right hemisphere is
specialized in processing all emotions; the Valence Hypothesis (VH) suggests a left/right …

In neuroscientific studies, the naturalness of face presentation differs; a third of published
studies makes use of close-up full coloured faces, a third uses close-up grey-scaled faces …

Objective: Four main theories concerning hemispheric asymmetries for emotional
processing have been proposed: the right hemisphere hypothesis (RHH; the right …

In humans, behavioral laterality and hemispheric asymmetries are part of a complex
biobehavioral system in which genetic factors have been repeatedly proposed as …
