The amygdala is a region of the brain primarily associated with emotional processes. It is located in the medial temporal lobe, just anterior to (in front of) the hippocampus. Similar to the hippocampus, the amygdala is a paired structure, with one locat

We're all familiar with the startle reflex—that sudden, uncontrollable jerk that occurs when we're surprised by a noise or other unexpected stimulus. But the brain also has an important pre-attentive mechanism to tamp down that response and tune out irr
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 ...

There is extensive evidence that the amygdala is involved in affectively influenced memory.The central hypothesis guiding the research reviewed in this paper is that emotional arousal activates the amygdala and that such activation results in the modulation of memory storage occurring in other brain reg...
