Brain systems for assessing facial attractiveness

The amygdala shows a non-linear response to facial attractiveness, showing greater responses to highly attractive and unattractive faces compared to middle-ranked faces, suggesting a role in sensing social stimuli's reward value.

Spontaneous retrieval of affective person knowledge in face perception

Affective person knowledge acquired from minimal information can be spontaneously retrieved in face perception, engaging neural systems for social cognition and emotions.

Are you always on my mind? A review of how face perception and attention interact

Face perception and attention interact, with automatic aspects being rapid, non-conscious, and capacity-free, while limited-capacity selective attention mechanisms are preferentially recruited by faces and facial expressions.

Neural systems for recognition of familiar faces

Familiar face recognition involves visual appearance, person knowledge, and emotional response, with the theory of mind areas and amygdala playing crucial roles in activation and emotional response.

Differential activation of the amygdala and the ‘social brain’ during fearful face-processing in Asperger Syndrome

People with Asperger's and high-functioning autism show different patterns of activation of social brain areas during fearful emotion processing, and no response to varying emotional intensity.
