Common and distinct patterns of affective response in dimensions of anxiety and depressionChristine L Larson
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 1116 US
Emotion 7:182-91. 2007..Common and unique patterns of affective responses in the 3 types of mood symptoms are discussed...- The shape of threat: simple geometric forms evoke rapid and sustained capture of attentionChristine L Larson
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA
Emotion 7:526-34. 2007.... - Stability of emotion-modulated startle during short and long picture presentationChristine L Larson
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824 1116, USA
Psychophysiology 42:604-10. 2005..In addition, comparable and, in some cases, greater stability of emotion modulation was found for short compared to long picture presentations. Stability was generally low for individual probe times for both groups... - Fear is fast in phobic individuals: amygdala activation in response to fear-relevant stimuliChristine L Larson
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824 1116, USA
Biol Psychiatry 60:410-7. 2006..We hypothesized that activation of the amygdala early in the presentation of fear-relevant visual stimuli would distinguish phobics from nonphobics... - Startle potentiation in aversive anticipation: evidence for state but not trait effectsJack B Nitschke
Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin, Madison 53706 1696, USA
Psychophysiology 39:254-8. 2002..These data suggest that the aversive nature of stimuli contribute to the potentiation of startle above and beyond the effects of emotional arousal, which may be a universal phenomenon not modulated by individual differences... 
Recognizing threat: a simple geometric shape activates neural circuitry for threat detectionChristine L Larson
Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI 53211, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 21:1523-35. 2009..Thus, this simple V-shape is capable of activating neural networks instantiating detection of threat and negative affect, suggesting that recognition of potential danger may be based, in part, on very simple, context-free visual cues...- MAOA T941G polymorphism and the time course of emotional recovery following unpleasant picturesChristine L Larson
Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53211, USA
Psychophysiology 47:857-62. 2010..These data suggest that the MAOA T941G polymorphism, which has been previously linked with mood disorders, is associated with a maladaptive pattern of affective responding in women... - Brain electrical tomography in depression: the importance of symptom severity, anxiety, and melancholic featuresDiego A Pizzagalli
Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 57305-2280, USA
Biol Psychiatry 52:73-85. 2002.... - Do aggression and rule-breaking have different interpersonal correlates? A study of antisocial behavior subtypes, negative affect, and hostile perceptions of othersS Alexandra Burt
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824, USA
Aggress Behav 35:453-61. 2009..Such results provide additional support for clinically meaningful differences between the behavioral subtypes of aggression and nonaggressive rule-breaking and for the independent role of hostile perceptions in aggressive behavior... - Full scenes produce more activation than close-up scenes and scene-diagnostic objects in parahippocampal and retrosplenial cortex: an fMRI studyJohn M Henderson
Visual Cognition Research Unit, Human Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology, 7 George Square, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH8 9JZ, UK
Brain Cogn 66:40-9. 2008..These results suggest scene processing areas are particularly sensitive to the 3D geometric structure that distinguishes scenes from other types of complex and meaningful visual stimuli... - Cortical activation to indoor versus outdoor scenes: an fMRI studyJohn M Henderson
Psychology, University of Edinburgh, 7 George Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9JZ, UK
Exp Brain Res 179:75-84. 2007..These findings suggest differences in function in these two areas. The results are consistent with the view that posterior parahippocampal cortex is functional in processing local space... - Functional coupling of simultaneous electrical and metabolic activity in the human brainTerrence R Oakes
W M Keck Laboratory for Functional Brain Imaging and Behavior, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, Wisconsin 53705, USA
Hum Brain Mapp 21:257-70. 2004..This method will be useful in the future when it is applied to functional imaging methods with faster time resolution, such as short half-life PET blood flow tracers and functional magnetic resonance imaging... - Frontal brain asymmetry in restrained eatersJaime R Silva
Psychobiology Department, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain
J Abnorm Psychol 111:676-81. 2002..Furthermore, relative right frontal activity was associated with greater self-reported restraint. Right-sided prefrontal asymmetry may thus represent a diathesis associated with increased vulnerability toward restrained eating...

- Chronometry of amygdala response to affective stimuliChristine Larson; Fiscal Year: 2005..Thus, the major aim of the proposed study is to further examine the dynamic process of the neural substrates of emotional experience, including both time course and magnitude of the neural instantiation of affective processes. ..
