Results of ALE meta-analysis (cluster level p < 0.05, FWE corrected, with a cluster-forming threshold of voxel p < 0.001) of experiments on passive exposure to (A) positive emotion (blue), (B) negative emotion (red), (C) mixed emotion (purple), and (D) down-regulation of negative emotions (green); clusters overlaid on axial sections from z=+10 to −35, 5mm part. Panel (E1) shows A, B, C clusters overlaid, and (E2) shows B, D clusters overlaid on parasagittal sections at x=−5, 0, and 5. Passive exposure to positive and negative emotions each engaged anterior and posterior regions of the vmPFC with the area in between engaged during exposure to mixed emotions. Regulation of negative emotions involved a smaller ventral posterior region within the vmPFC cluster identified for passive exposure to negative emotions.
