During anticipation of pictures with certain negative valence, activities of supracallosal anterior cingulate cortex, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, insula, and amygdala were enhanced relative activity levels that for the uncertain emotional anticipation condition. This result suggests that these brain ...

Functional magnetic imaging (fMRI) studies have shown that the nature of emotional responses change over the lifespan (Mather et al., 2004). For example, compared to adults, children show greater amygdala activity in response to neutral compared to fearful faces (Thomas et al., 2001b). More...
The amygdala usually concludes that bad things happen on purpose, and it comes to this conclusion lightning fast. So fast that we don’t even notice we're making an assumption; we just know that the person closest to the problem must have done it on purpose! This leads to the second ...
of atten-tion in information processing. This is in line with reports of an enhancing effect of emotional stimuli on memory performance (for review, see Hamann, 2001;Phelps,2006),which is explained by a modulating effect of the amygdala on sensory systems (Davis&Whalen,2001;Kensinger&Corkin, ...

Similarly, increased BOLD responses in patients compared to controls in the frontal pole, paracingulate and the supplementary motor cortex may be suggestive of a memory component to the responses The amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex, substantia nigra/ventral tegmentum, putamen, thalamus, pallidum, ...
The noise reduced activity in the hippocampus during picture encoding, decreased the correct response and increased the activity of the amygdala. A path diagram using structural equation modeling suggested that hippocampus activity might be depressed by high amygdala activity. Therefore, noise should ...
In contrast, activation in other regions like the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, the mediodorsal thalamus and the amygdala was associated only with a general emotional component during sexual arousal. No differences were found in these effects when comparing females and males. Our findings demonstrate ...
Moreover, FMS participants exhibited disruption of emotional modulation of ASR as compared to HC. Although preliminary, these data suggest that individuals with FMS have deficits in emotional processing. Moreover, because startle and pain are modulated by a similar brain circuit (e.g. amygdala鈥擯...
