This book presents the latest advances in neuroimaging to study the brain mechanisms of emotion with contributions from world leaders in the field. It spans topics ranging from emotional learning and memory to how emotional circuits develop in adolescence and contribute to affective disorders, including depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. Brain imaging tools have become the dominant method to study human emotions from a neuroscience perspective, combined with powerful computational approaches like machine learning. This rigorous approach has yielded new insights into how distributed patterns of neural activity throughout the brain distinguish facets of emotional experience from one another and how emotions influence other cognitive processes. Brain imaging tools have also been at the forefront of identifying how emotions develop and change across the lifespan and in affective disorders. Neuroimaging of Human Emotions collects these latest discoveries from world-renowned researchers into a single volume.
