Abstract
A dual process for the cognitive control of emotional significance: implications for emotion regulation and disorders of emotion
Highlights
Research has focused on prefrontal involvement in emotional control, with the dorsolateral aspect (dlPFC) interacting with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and amygdala to modulate emotional reactivity (Johnstone et al, 2007; Delgado et al, 2008; Phillips et al, 2008)
Modern use of blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging has begun to elucidate the neural regions whose activity correlates with emotion regulation

Summary
Research has focused on prefrontal involvement in emotional control, with the dorsolateral aspect (dlPFC) interacting with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and amygdala to modulate emotional reactivity (Johnstone et al, 2007; Delgado et al, 2008; Phillips et al, 2008). Harris et al (2013) observed an increase in the N1 amplitude of the occipital cortex between 150 and 200 ms in successful relative to failed self-control trials, which as they note is thought to relate to the attentional modulation of early visual cortices.
