Genetic Factors Affecting the Neural Coding of Emotional Signals in Humans

Summary

The study aims to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to provide a more detailed understanding of the regions of the brain associated with specific individual emotions. It is hoped that the findings will improve our understanding of the way in which our brains process emotional information and may provide important new information for understanding emotional disorders.

Participation: For this study we recruited 57 volunteers from the Cambridge BioResource to give a saliva sample.
