A subcortical pathway is assumed to mediate non-conscious visual processing of emotional stimuli. In this provocative Perspective, Pessoa and Adolphs argue that this pathway does not exist in primates and propose novel roles for the amygdala and the cort

findings from animals regarding the amygdala's role in emotional processing. In this review, we highlight what has been learned about the amygdala's involvement in emotion, focusing on several areas of research where the amygdala has been shown to play similar roles in humans and other animals....
The amygdala has long been implicated in the display of emotional and emotional information processing, especially in the context of aversive events. In this review, we discuss recent evidence that links the amygdala to several aspects of food-motivated , including functions often characterized as att...
Brain functions and connectivity patterns related to maladaptive emotion regulation are poorly understood. We find that, in older adults subjected to high emotional events, functional connectivity between the default mode network and the amygdala is associated with higher anxiety, rumination and negative ...
This review explores insights into the relations between emotion and that have resulted from studies of the amygdala. Five topics are explored: emotional , emotion and , emotion's influence on attention and perception, processing emotion in social stimuli, and changing emotional responses. ...
Scientists have identified how depression alters the brain’s response to positive and negative stimuli, particularly in the amygdala, a key emotional processing center. The study found that depression reduces neural activity linked to positive perceptions while increasing it for negative perceptions. Read...
Neural correlates of emotion processing in borderline personality disorder. Emotional instability is a hallmark feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD), yet its biological underpinnings are poorly understood. We employed f...

In a subsequent experiment, the subjects performed a masked affective priming task that characterizes automatic emotion processing by investigating the biasing effect of subliminally presented emotional faces on evaluative ratings to subsequently presented neutral stimuli. In the affective priming task, ...
To gain a broader understanding of the underlying mechanisms of abnormalities in emotional processing and social impairment in ASD, the current study investigated amygdala habituation to face stimuli in a sample of high-functioning adults with ASD. To this end, we analyzed behavioral and functional ma...
