Here we provide a review of the animal and human literature concerning the role of the
amygdala in fear conditioning, considering its potential influence over autonomic and hormonal …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the human brain was used to study whether
the amygdala is activated in response to emotional stimuli, even in the absence of explicit …

We measured amygdala activity in human volunteers during rapid visual presentations of
fearful, happy, and neutral faces using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The first …

Background: Converging lines of evidence have implicated the amygdala in the
pathophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We previously developed a method for …

Background: The anterior cingulate cognitive division (ACcd) plays a central role in
attentional processing by: 1) modulating stimulus selection (ie, focusing attention) and/or 2) …

Background Previous functional neuroimaging studies have demonstrated exaggerated
amygdala responses and diminished medial prefrontal cortex responses during the …

One of physiological psycholo-gy's most reproducible findings is that the amygdala, a brain
struc-ture located within the temporal lobes, is a necessary component of a brain system …

The amygdala was more responsive to fearful (larger) eye whites than to happy (smaller)
eye whites presented in a masking paradigm that mitigated subjects' awareness of their …

The dynamic interactions between the amygdala and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are
usefully conceptualized as a circuit that both allows us to react automatically to biologically …

The anterior cingulate cortex has been activated by color Stroop tasks, supporting the hypothesis
that it is recruited to mediate response selection or allocate attentional resources when …
