Chinese students' brain scans also didn't show differences in insula even when they said they felt an emotional response. #mhyang

Are the cultural differences driven by the brain's dorsal sector? #mhyang

— USC Rossier · Mon, Feb 06 2012 12:54:46

In the American groups, the dorsal and the ventral share strength of emotion. Chinese students only showed ventral activity. #mhyang

— USC Rossier · Mon, Feb 06 2012 12:56:50

American groups were slower to say feeling an emotional reaction. Perhaps they were also waiting for more physical response. #mhyang

The most expressive Chinese participants followed pattern of American students' physical response, reaction time. #mhyang
