“…Facial affect recognition (FAR) is a critical component of healthy social cognition in humans (Adolphs, 2003). Impairments in recognition and related neural dysfunction are found in several disorders associated with socio-affective dysfunction, including psychopathy and conduct disorder (Dadds et al, 2006;Contreras-Rodriguez et al, 2014), mood disorders (Surguladze et al, 2004), and autism (Swartz et al, 2013). Prominent neurocognitive models of FAR focus both on core face regions such as fusiform face area (FFA), superior temporal sulcus (STS), and occipital face area (OFA; Ishai, 2008;Park et al, 2012), and on the extended face network, which includes the amygdala, and areas of prefrontal cortex such as inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and dorsal prefrontal cortex (dPFC; Stein et al, 2007;Dal Monte et al, 2013;Ferrari et al, 2016).…”
