Face perception is mediated by a distributed neural system in the human brain. Attention,
memory and emotion modulate the neural activation evoked by faces, however the effects of�…

Face perception is mediated by a distributed neural system in the human brain [1, 2]. The
response to faces is modulated by cognitive factors such as attention, visual imagery, and�…

Face perception in humans is mediated by activation in a network of brain areas.
Conventional univariate fMRI data analysis has not localized differential responses to�…

The attractiveness of a face is a highly salient social signal, influencing mate choice and
other social judgements. In this study, we used event-related functional magnetic resonance�…

The current study examined the neural substrates of facial attractiveness judgments. Based
on the extant behavioral literature, it was hypothesized that brain regions involved in�…

Several studies have demonstrated that women show a greater interest for social
information and empathic attitude than men. This article reviews studies on sex differences�…

Research on the neural mechanisms of face identity constitutes a fruitful method to explore
the affective contributions to face processing. Here, we investigated central and peripheral�…

Attractiveness is a facial attribute that shapes human affiliative behaviours. In a previous
study we reported a linear response to facial attractiveness in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a�…

Perception and evaluation of facial expressions are known to be heavily modulated by
emotional features of contextual information. Such contextual effects, however, might also be�…

Many studies provide support for the role of the fusiform gyrus in face recognition and its
sensitivity to emotional expressions. Recently, category-specific representation was also�…
