This review examines the neural correlates of Gray's model (Gray and McNaughton, 2000; McNaughton and Corr, 2004), supplemented by a fourth dimension: constraint (Carver, 2005). The purpose of this review is to summarize findings from fMRI studies that tap on neural correlates of personality aspects in healthy subjects, in order to provide insight into the neural activity underlying human temperament. BAS-related personality traits were consistently reported to correlate positively to activity of the ventral and dorsal striatum and ventral PFC in response to positive stimuli. FFFS and BIS-related personality traits are positively correlated to activity in the amygdala in response to negative stimuli. There is limited evidence that constraint is associated with PFC and ACC activity. In conclusion, functional MRI research sheds some light on the specific neural networks underlying personality. It is clear that more sophisticated task paradigms are required, as well as personality questionnaires that effectively differentiate between BAS, FFFS, BIS, and constraint. Further research is proposed to potentially reveal new insight in the neural subsystems governing basic human behavior.
这篇综述考察了格雷模型（Gray 和 McNaughton，2000；McNaughton 和 Corr，2004）的神经相关性，补充了第四个维度：约束（Carver，2005）。本综述的目的是总结功能磁共振成像研究中关于健康受试者人格特征神经相关性的发现，以深入了解人类气质的神经活动基础。BAS 相关的人格特质与对正性刺激的腹侧和背侧纹状体和腹侧前额叶皮层的活动呈正相关。FFF 和 BIS 相关的人格特质与对负性刺激的杏仁核活动呈正相关。有限的证据表明，约束与 PFC 和 ACC 活动有关。总之，功能磁共振成像研究为人格的特定神经网络提供了一些线索。显然，需要更复杂的任务范式以及能够有效区分 BAS、FFF、BIS 和约束的人格问卷。进一步的研究可能会揭示控制基本人类行为的神经子系统的新见解。
