Dynamic Cerebral Processes Underlying Emotion Regulation.

Fox, Nathan A.

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v59 n2-3 p152-66 1994

A reanalysis of recent clinical research suggests that three different neural processes or brain mechanisms may underlie the regulation of emotion: (1) contralateral disinhibition of cortical centers; (2) ipsilateral disinhibition of subcortical centers; and (3) excitation of specific subcortical or neocortical centers.
