Emotion processing and the ability to decode facial
expressions is crucial for normal emotional development
but the evolution of these processes and of the neural
systems associated with this over the adolescence
remains unclear. Moreover, understanding cognitive
top-down effects during affective processing is of
relevance as these mechanisms may modulate the response
of the face processing network. In this study, by means
of an fMRI task, we evaluated differential top-down
effects on the modulation of the face processing network
and founded an affected response of the fusiform gyrus
in adolescents.
