Deficits in facial affect recognition among antisocial populations: a meta-analysisAbigail A Marsh
National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 32:454-65. 2008..This impairment cannot be attributed solely to task difficulty. These results suggest dysfunction among antisocial individuals in specified neural substrates, namely the amygdala, involved in processing fearful facial affect...- Reduced amygdala-orbitofrontal connectivity during moral judgments in youths with disruptive behavior disorders and psychopathic traitsAbigail A Marsh
Mood and Anxiety Program, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD, USA
Psychiatry Res 194:279-86. 2011..These results suggest that psychopathic traits are associated with amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction. This dysfunction may relate to previous findings of disrupted moral judgment in this population... 
Reduced amygdala response to fearful expressions in children and adolescents with callous-unemotional traits and disruptive behavior disordersAbigail A Marsh
Mood and Anxiety Program, NIMH, 15K North Dr, MSC 2670, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Am J Psychiatry 165:712-20. 2008..Moreover, despite high comorbidity of callous-unemotional traits and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), no research has attempted to distinguish neural correlates of pediatric callous-unemotional traits and ADHD...- Dominance and submission: the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and responses to status cuesAbigail A Marsh
Mood and Anxiety Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 21:713-24. 2009..We suggest that the VLPFC retrieves information from these regions when processing hierarchy cues to facilitate socially adaptive behavior... - Abnormal ventromedial prefrontal cortex function in children with psychopathic traits during reversal learningElizabeth C Finger
National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Arch Gen Psychiatry 65:586-94. 2008.... - Accurate identification of fear facial expressions predicts prosocial behaviorAbigail A Marsh
Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Emotion 7:239-51. 2007..In Study 3, accuracy for recognizing fear proved a better predictor of prosocial behavior than gender, mood, or scores on an empathy scale... 
Choosing the lesser of two evils, the better of two goods: specifying the roles of ventromedial prefrontal cortex and dorsal anterior cingulate in object choiceKarina Blair
Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 2670, USA
J Neurosci 26:11379-86. 2006..These data are interpreted with reference to models of ACd and vmPFC functioning...- The impact of tryptophan depletion and 5-HTTLPR genotype on passive avoidance and response reversal instrumental learning tasksElizabeth C Finger
Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, Unit on Affective Cognitive Neuroscience, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Neuropsychopharmacology 32:206-15. 2007..Furthermore, they demonstrate behavioral differences in responses to punishing stimuli between long allele homozygotes and short allele carriers when serotonin levels are acutely reduced... - Caught in the act: the impact of audience on the neural response to morally and socially inappropriate behaviorElizabeth C Finger
Mood and Anxiety Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, 15K, North Drive, MSC 2670, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Neuroimage 33:414-21. 2006..These regions have been implicated in the representation of the mental states of others (Theory of Mind). The presence of an audience was associated with increased left amygdala activity across all conditions... - Reduced amygdala response in youths with disruptive behavior disorders and psychopathic traits: decreased emotional response versus increased top-down attention to nonemotional featuresStuart F White
National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD, USA
Am J Psychiatry 169:750-8. 2012..However, there has been disagreement as to whether this dysfunction reflects a primary emotional deficit or is secondary to atypical attentional control. The authors examined the validity of the contrasting predictions... - Impaired recognition of fear facial expressions in 5-HTTLPR S-polymorphism carriers following tryptophan depletionAbigail A Marsh
Mood and Anxiety Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 189:387-94. 2006..Acute tryptophan depletion has been associated with the processing of fear-relevant cues, such as emotional expressions, but the effect of genotype at the 5-HTTLPR has not been assessed... - Response options and expectations of reward in decision-making: the differential roles of dorsal and rostral anterior cingulate cortexAbigail A Marsh
Mood and Anxiety Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, 15K North Drive, MSC 2670, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Neuroimage 35:979-88. 2007..The current results suggest functional specificity with respect to the roles of dACC/dmFC and rACC/mPFC in decision-making... - What do I think you're doing? Action identification and mind attributionMegan N Kozak
Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA
J Pers Soc Psychol 90:543-55. 2006..In Study 5, the authors found that instructing participants to adopt the target's perspective did not affect mind attribution but did lead to higher level identifications of the target's actions... - The effects of fear and anger facial expressions on approach- and avoidance-related behaviorsAbigail A Marsh
Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA
Emotion 5:119-24. 2005..Although the fear expression may signal that a threat is present in the environment, the effect of the expression on conspecifics may be in part to elicit approach... - Why do fear and anger look the way they do? Form and social function in facial expressionsAbigail A Marsh
Harvard University, USA
Pers Soc Psychol Bull 31:73-86. 2005..These results suggest that fear and anger expressions may serve socially adaptive purposes for those who show them, similar to the social adaptations associated with a babyish or mature facial appearance... - Nonverbal "accents": cultural differences in facial expressions of emotionAbigail A Marsh
Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
Psychol Sci 14:373-6. 2003..This evidence suggests that extreme positions regarding the universality of emotional expressions are incomplete...
