“…Hence, we posit that greedy individuals might keep general and typical threat-related emotion processing subserved by the amygdala, including coding, discrimination, recognition, and automatic evaluation, but might exhibit decreased vmPFC-related generation and regulation functions responsible for negative emotions. Indeed, a large number of questionnaire studies support such viewpoint that more negative affect and negative psychopathology were observed in the greedy population (Van et al, 2022;Veselka et al, 2014;Vrabel et al, 2019;.When processing negative emotion faces, PPI analyses further showed that greedy individuals are prone to manifest weaker functional connectivity between the vmPFC and top-down control network/visual pathway in Cohort 1. Here, the top-down control network is composed of the prefrontal cortex (i.e., dlPFC) while the visual pathway consists of the MTG and LOC.…”
