• Relevance of facial expressions

  
  
  
  

  • Attention to facial expressions can promote survival: attachment, threat detection
    
  • Darwin’s hypothesis (1872): innate and universal, linked to human emotions
    
  • Ekman’s six basic emotions: fear, anger, sadness, disgust, happiness and surprise
    
  • Cross-cultural evidence for universality (Ekman, 1999; Izard, 1994; )
    

• Fearful and angry facial expressions

  
  

  • Fearful: indicating presence of threat different from the expresser
    
  • Angry: expresser is a direct threat to the observer
    

  
  
  
  Neural processing of threat-related fearful and angry stimuli can rely more on subcortical structures than processing of other facial expressions.

• Amgdala lesion – patient S.M.

  
  

  • Near complete bilateral amgydala lesion – Urbach-Wiethe disease

• NAcc stimulation increases lever-pressing

  
  

  • Electrode implanted in different brain regions
    
  • Small current applied when animal presses a lever 

  • Self-stimulation of nucleus accumbens (NAcc)
  increases lever pressing
  Nacc pleasure center of the brain?
   ‘Dopamine pleasure’ hypothesis (Wise, 1980)

• Dopamine is key for wanting not liking (Berridge, 1996)

  
  
  
  

  • Dopamine depletion in animals or Parkinson’s patients does not reduce hedonic reactions to receipt of reward.
    
  • L-DOPA, a dopamine precursor used in treatment of Parkinson’s disease, increases compulsive motivations but not pleasure.
    
  • Deep-brain stimulation of NAcc produces motivation to perform certain activities but no report of pleasure.
    

• Liking and pleasure mediated by opioid system

  
  
  
  

  • Assessment of pleasure: hedonic reactions.
    
  • Opiod but not dopamine receptor stimulation in NAcc, ventral pallidum (brainstem), orbitofrontal cortex and insula increases liking reactions.
    
  • Ventral pallidum lesions but not dopaminergic areas causes loss of liking and induces disgust reactions (for review see Berridge et al., 2015).
    

• Dopamine as reward prediction error

  PE= actual - expected reward
  New good award is a hit
  When the expectation and the reward is the same, it's 0
  If the reward is disappointing, there is no rewarding feeling
  
  Dopamine is key in reward learning

• Why are social stimuli rewarding?

  
  
  
  Two main (non-exclusive) hypotheses:
  

  1. Social stimuli acquire their reward value from pairing with primary rewards.
     
  2. Social stimuli are intrinsically/innately rewarding
