Amygdala volume is not associated with MRI-based markers of early cardiovascular disease [PDF]
Background Recent PET studies suggest a link between amygdala activity and cardiovascular disease. Altered amygdala volumes are associated with increased stressor-evoked cardiovascular reactivity, which potentially increases the risk for cardiovascular ...

Local synchronization of resting-state dynamics encodes Gray's trait Anxiety [PDF]
The Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) as defined within the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) modulates reactions to stimuli indicating aversive events. Gray’s trait Anxiety determines the extent to which stimuli activate the BIS.

Decreased amygdala volume in adults after premature birth
Premature-born infants have impaired amygdala structure, presumably due to increased stress levels of premature birth mediated by the amygdala. However, accounting for lifelong plasticity of amygdala, it is unclear whether such structural changes persist

Within amygdala: Basolateral parts are selectively impaired in premature-born adults
While it is known that whole amygdala volume is lastingly reduced after premature birth, it is unknown whether different amygdala nuclei are distinctively affected by prematurity.

Structural and functional abnormities of amygdala and prefrontal cortex in major depressive disorder with suicide attempts [PDF]
Finding neural features of suicide attempts (SA) in major depressive disorder (MDD) may be helpful in preventing suicidal behavior. The ventral and medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), as well as the amygdala form a circuit implicated in emotion regulation ...
