abstract = {Positive-social emotions mediate one's cognitive
performance, mood, well-being, and social bonds, and
represent a critical variable within therapeutic settings.
It has been shown that the upregulation of positive emotions
in social situations is associated with increased top-down
signals that stem from the prefrontal cortices (PFC) which
modulate bottom-up emotional responses in the amygdala.
However, it remains unclear if positive-social emotion
upregulation of the amygdala occurs directly through the
dorsomedial PFC (dmPFC) or indirectly linking the bilateral
amygdala with the dmPFC via the subgenual anterior cingulate
cortex (sgACC), an area which typically serves as a
gatekeeper between cognitive and emotion networks. We
performed functional MRI (fMRI) experiments with and without
effortful positive-social emotion upregulation to
demonstrate the functional architecture of a network
involving the amygdala, the dmPFC, and the sgACC. We found
that effortful positive-social emotion upregulation was
associated with an increase in top-down connectivity from
the dmPFC on the amygdala via both direct and indirect
connections with the sgACC. Conversely, we found that
emotion processes without effortful regulation increased
network modulation by the sgACC and amygdala. We also found
that more anxious individuals with a greater tendency to
suppress emotions and intrusive thoughts, were likely to
display decreased amygdala, dmPFC, and sgACC activity and
stronger connectivity strength from the sgACC onto the left
amygdala during effortful emotion upregulation. Analyzed
brain network suggests a more general role of the sgACC in
cognitive control and sheds light on neurobiological
informed treatment interventions.},
