Data for: Do anger perception and the experience of anger share common neural mechanisms? Coordinate-based meta-analytic evidence of similar and different mechanisms from functional neuroimaging studies

The neural bases of anger are still a matter of debate. In particular we do not know whether anger perception and anger experience rely on similar or different neural mechanisms. To study this topic, we performed activation-likelihood-estimation meta-analyses of human neuroimaging studies on 62 previous studies on anger perception and experience. Anger perception analysis resulted in significant activation in the amygdala, the superior temporal gyrus and the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, thus revealing the role of perceptual areas such as the superior temporal gyrus and the amygdala for perceiving angry stimuli. Anger experience analysis resulted in the bilateral activation of the insula and the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, thus revealing the role of the insula in the experience of anger. Conjunction analyses revealed a common area localized in the right inferior frontal gyrus, probably involved in the appraisal and labelling of anger for both perception and experience. Altogether these results provide new insights on the functional architecture underlying the neural processing of anger that involves separate and joint mechanisms, where the superior temporal gyrus and the amygdala are key regions for the perception of this emotion displayed by others, and the insula is a key region for the experience of anger. These data show the GingerALE output of the meta-analyses on: - Anger Perception - Anger Experience - The conjunction analysis between anger perception and anger experience

愤怒的神经基础至今仍存在学术争议。具体而言，我们尚不清楚愤怒感知与愤怒体验所依赖的神经机制是否相似。

为探究这一课题，我们针对此前62项关于人类愤怒感知与愤怒体验的神经影像学研究，开展了激活似然估计（Activation-Likelihood-Estimation, ALE）元分析。

愤怒感知分析结果显示，杏仁核（amygdala）、颞上回（superior temporal gyrus）及右侧腹外侧前额叶皮层（right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex）出现显著激活，由此揭示了颞上回、杏仁核等感知脑区在识别愤怒刺激过程中的关键作用。

愤怒体验分析则显示，脑岛（insula）与腹外侧前额叶皮层出现双侧激活，阐明了脑岛在愤怒体验中的功能地位。

联合分析发现，右侧额下回（right inferior frontal gyrus）存在一处共同激活区域，该区域可能参与愤怒感知与体验过程中的情绪评估与标签化环节。

综上，本研究结果为愤怒神经加工背后的功能架构提供了新见解：该架构包含独立与共享的双重神经机制，其中颞上回与杏仁核是识别他人愤怒情绪的核心脑区，而脑岛则是愤怒主观体验的关键脑区。

本数据集包含本次元分析的GingerALE输出结果，涵盖以下三类内容：- 愤怒感知元分析；- 愤怒体验元分析；- 愤怒感知与愤怒体验的联合分析
