Title: The neurobiology of emotion, affect regulation, and alexithymia
Abstract: In recent years, several personality theorists have emphasized the influence of genetic factors on adult personality traits and the need for linking personality constructs with neurobiological processes that might underlie individual differences in personality (Buss, 1990; Eysenck, 1991a; Gray, 1994; Cloninger, Svrakic & Przybeck, 1993; Zuckerman, 1992). Given the plethora of personality constructs that have appeared in the scientific literature, and the considerable overlap among various personality models, Eysenck (1991a) and Zuckerman (1992) have suggested that the most important and meaningful personality variables for future research will be those traits that show at least moderate heritability and that can be linked to underlying anatomical, physiological, or hormonal factors.
