“…In addition to AMY, a number of other brain regions have been identified as being part of an emotion processing network, including lateral and medial prefrontal cortical (PFC) regions, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), as well as other brain regions susceptible to emotional modulation (e.g., perceptual areas, such as visual cortex) (Adolphs, 2002; Anders, Lotze, Erb, Grodd, & Birbaumer, 2004; Anderson et al, 2003; Dolcos, Iordan, & Dolcos, 2011; Dolcos, LaBar, & Cabeza, 2004; Dolcos & McCarthy, 2006; Fichtenholtz et al, 2004; Grimm et al, 2006; Kober et al, 2008; Phan, Fitzgerald et al, 2004; Phan, Taylor et al, 2004; Phan, Wager, Taylor, & Liberzon, 2004; Phillips, Drevets, Rauch, & Lane, 2003; Sabatini et al, 2009; Wang, McCarthy, Song, & Labar, 2005; Yamasaki, LaBar, & McCarthy, 2002). In conditions of competing emotion-cognition interactions, the neural system involved in âhotâ emotional ( HotEmo ) processing interplays with a neural system involved in âcoldâ executive ( ColdEx ) processing, which includes brain regions that are part of the so-called fronto-parietal attentional network, underlies the ability to stay focused on task-relevant information and is important for cognitive control (Corbetta, Patel, & Shulman, 2008; Corbetta & Shulman, 2002; Duncan & Owen, 2000; Ochsner & Gross, 2005).…”
