This COMT variant might increase the vulnerability to panic disorder possibly by modulating the dopaminergic tonus in relevant brain regions and thus altering neuronal processing of anxiety-related emotional cues.doi:10.1016/j.clinph.2006.11.067K Domschke...
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....
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 ...

Because the amygdala is linked to emotion processing as well as facial and emotional recognition, researchers believe that the more overgrowth the amygdala experiences, the more severe the person’s ASD symptoms might be. Where Is the Amygdala Located?

The amygdala is indeed a key structure in the perception and response to emotional signals and has been classically linked to fear processing25,26,27,28. However, more recent findings have extended its functions to recognition of other emotions29,30or to multiple processes beyond emotion perception...
We thus aimed to identify directional relationships between frontoamygdala emotional regulation circuitry activity during emotion processing, personality traits, and symptoms associated with psychological distress, and QoL. One hundred twenty 18–25-year olds, n=51 psychologically distressed and n=69 ...

In fact, visual, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory stimuli have all been reported to activate the amygdala during processing of unpleasant and arousing emotions (Royet et al., 2000). Studies using functional neuroimaging have examined both the encoding/recognition of emotional stimuli, and emotional...
