"Gossip doesn't just influence your opinions about people, it actually influences how you see them visually" ... Do you agree or disagree?

Statement made by Lisa Feldman Barrett, distinguished professor of psychology at Northeastern University

Negative gossip actually alters the way our visual system responds to a particular face, according to a study published online by the journal Science. ----- http://www.npr.org/2011/05/20/136465083/psst-the-human-brain-is-wired-for-gossip

Hm interesting. I know that there can be an immediate and strong emotional response associated to a certain perceived person or thing, but an actual visual cortex response seems a bit much. Still anything is possible.
