Neural Modulation in Aversive Emotion Processing: An Independent Component Analysis Study

الملخص EN

Emotional processing has an important role in social interaction.

We report the findings about the Independent Component Analysis carried out on a fMRI set obtained with a paradigm of face emotional processing.

The results showed that an independent component, mainly cerebellar-medial-frontal, had a positive modulation associated with fear processing.

Also, another independent component, mainly parahippocampal-prefrontal, showed a negative modulation that could be associated with implicit reappraisal of emotional stimuli.

Independent Component Analysis could serve as a method to understand complex cognitive processes and their underlying neural dynamics.
