Location The amygdala is one of the two almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep within thetemporal lobes, medial to the hypothalamus and adjacent to thehippocampusand inferior (temporal) horn of thelateral ventricle. Amygdaloid body Corpus amygdaloideum ...
Location of the amygdala in the human brain. Image: Wikipedia. UCLA researchers have shown for the first time a comprehensive picture of cell diversity in the amygdala, a vital brain region involved in the regulation of emotions and social behavior, as well as in autism spectrum disorders, depr...
The amygdalae also play a role in modulating social cognition and behavior (i.e., recognizing emotion in faces, judging trustworthiness, and generating a sense of personal space).2Furthermore, they assign positive and negative meaning to moments, converting them into what we recognize as happy o...
The blue cross indicates the location of the peak voxel and the red–yellow color scale indicates the T-values. (Lower) Scatter plots and regression lines of the adjusted rsFC parameters as a function of the MSPSS scores at the peak voxels. Effects of no interest (age, sex, full-scale ...

Location of the amygdala in the human brain. Image: Wikipedia. In a striking new finding, researchers at the UC Davis MIND Institute found that typically-developing children gain more neurons in a region of the brain that governs social and emotional behavior, the amygdala, as they become adult...
and fighting in male mice. We find two largely distinct PA subpopulations that differ in connectivity, gene expression, in vivo responses and social behavior relevance. MPN-projecting PAEsr1+cells are activated during mating and are necessary and sufficient for male sexual behaviors, while VMHvl-...
If this system becomes dysfunctional, it may give rise to inappropriate social behavior or anxiety, symptoms that are commonly observed in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Sign in to download full-size image FIGURE 3.5.1. (A) Lateral view of human brain displaying location of amygdala (A, ...
The order of treatments and the location of the stimulus mouse during the first test were counterbalanced; for the second test, the stimulus mouse was in the opposite location to the first test. Each mouse was tested twice, once following vehicle treatment and once following CNO (3 mg/kg ...
Registration and segmentation of the ROI were overlaid on original T1 images and visually inspected (CCH, RAM) slice-by-slice for correct location and shape. All scans were reviewed by a neuroradiologist who ruled out clinically significant abnormalities. Total vmPFC was composed of two regions ...
