«In light of the current findings, it is certainly plausible that individuals displaying decreased pupillary response to emotional stimuli and relatively higher levels of disaster - related stress may be good candidates for cognitive therapy to alleviate their depression,» said Brandon Gibb, professor of psychology at Binghamton University, director of the Mood Disorders Institute and Center for Affective Science, and co-author of the study.

Short pain stimuli are processed in sensory brain areas, whereas ongoing pain is processed in frontal brain areas which are related to emotional processes.

The researchers scanned the entire brain and discovered that memories of alcohol consumption — often prompted by external stimuli — caused activation of this protein in specific regions of the frontal cortex, the area of the brain related to memory processing, as well as in the nucleus of the amygdala, which is responsible for emotional memories and involved in the emotional symptoms related to withdrawal.

The fMRI results (event - related design) show that chemosensory anxiety signals activate brain areas involved in the processing of social emotional stimuli (fusiform gyrus), and in the regulation of empathic feelings (insula, precuneus, cingulate cortex).

Here, the emotional responses of 23 BD participants were compared with that of 24 healthy controls after various stimuli; the study found greater HRV in the BD group after the stimuli through an increase in measures related to parasympathetic activity.16 More recently, in 2015, Voggt et al investigated HRV features in 90 euthymic bipolar patients compared with 62 healthy controls.

As crucial processes to extracting information from the environment, attention mechanisms are considered highly relevant to attachment - related differences in the processing of emotional stimuli, especially potentially threatening stimuli (Fraley et al., 2000).

This, along with the higher activation seen before the presentation of emotional facial stimuli, implies that cues related to a secure figure can capture the attention resources, thereby affecting the performance in subsequent cognitive tasks.

Based on previous findings on attention to emotional stimuli in children with disruptive behaviors (e.g., Kimonis et al., 2012; Hodsoll et al., 2014), we hypothesized that higher levels of CU traits would be associated with reduced attention toward fearful and angry faces, while higher levels of ODD - related problems would be associated with greater attention toward both negative and positive (happy) emotional faces.

Furthermore, to our knowledge, the present study is the first addressing the question on how children with various levels of CU traits, anxiety and ODD - related problems process both negative and positive emotional faces, by indexing attentional orientation patterns toward these stimuli through a dynamic computation procedure.

Importantly, MBSR may be related to greater ability to disengage attention from aversive emotional stimuli (Lutz et al., 2008); thereby reducing emotional reactivity and enhancing the ability to implement emotion regulation strategies.

It has been suggested that reactive aggression is more emotional than proactive aggression, and it has indeed been found that reactive aggression is related to poorly regulated responses to emotional stimuli (Vitaro et al. 2002), while proactive aggression is related to callousness and emotional shallowness (Frick et al. 2003; Marsee and Frick 2007).
