Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Brain functional imaging studies in humans have presented that face processing related to face recognition and memory in several areas is modulated by the affective significance of faces, although past models in cognitive psychology have often considered that facial expression and facial identity are processed along two separate pathways. This article shows neural networks for the processing emotions that affect facial recognition involves amygdala and frontal regions. These findings are also discussed in relation to the function of serotonin, which is one of the important neurotransmitters affecting emotional processing, and autism that shows the social deficit. It was also propose that psychological and brain function imaging studies with concurrent biochemical and pharmacological measurement appear to be quite useful in clarifying the relationships between emotion, brain and gene functions.
