Studies have shown a reduction in the amygdala volume. This difference in brain region volume is present in adults with ADHD. Individuals with ADHD can experience heightened emotions and may find themselves at the point of meltdown or frustration more frequently than their peers. This can present...
The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped structure found in the temporal lobe of each hemisphere of the brain. It is part of the limbic system of the brain, the area responsible for our emotions, pleasure reactions, and memory. As there is a temporal lobe on either side of the brain, ...
amygdalafunctional magnetic resonance imagingBackground: Several studies have shown that female and male subjects process emotions differently. As women appear to be especially sensitive and responsive to negative and threatening stimuli, gender-specific emotional processing might be an important factor ...
What does the right cerebellum control? What is a medulla? What emotions does the amygdala control? What does the medulla oblongata regulate? What is atrophy of the cerebellum? What separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum? What do the frontal and temporal lobes control?
In order to become lasting memories, these sensory experiences have to be consolidated by the hippocampus, influenced by the amygdala, which emphasizes experiences associated with strong emotions.为了形成长期记忆，这些感官体验会经海马体进行增强，并受到杏仁核的影响。杏仁核能够强化带有强烈情感的经验。The ...

The activation of the amygdala during REM sleep likely explains the intense emotions, particularly fear and anxiety, in dreams. One 40-year-old theory proposed that the function of dreaming is to eliminate unwanted memories. Dreams are not simply forgotten, they are actively unlearned. Some...
[14]. The aging brain model posits that the reduced responses to negative stimuli in older adults result from decreases in brain activity in some regions, such as the amygdala, that are responsible for emotional processing [15]. Finally, the dynamic integration theory argues that the positivity ...
The amygdala is associated with many emotions, but none more so than fear. On the most fundamental level, the amygdala powers our survival instincts. This would have been key to avoiding predators and other natural threats in our primitive past, but it now manifests in the far more complicate...
Cortical structures repeatedly found activated include parietal, occipitotemporal and frontal areas as well as the cerebellum, the insular cortex and the cingulate gyrus. Subcortical areas reported are the basal ganglia, the amygdala, the thalamus and hypothalamus (for an overview see Table 1). High...
