The developmental mismatch hypothesis (DMH) proposes that a mismatch in maturational timing of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex (PFC) drives adolescent sensation-seeking behaviour.

Amygdala-dependent learning increases the number of spinophilin-immunoreactive dendritic spines in the lateral amygdala [PDF]
During Pavlovian auditory fear conditioning a previously neutral auditory stimulus (CS) gains emotional significance through pairing with a noxious unconditioned stimulus (US). These associations are believed to be formed by way of plasticity at auditory

Amygdala upregulation of NCAM polysialylation induced by auditory fear conditioning is not required for memory formation, but plays a role in fear extinction [PDF]
There is much interest to understand the mechanisms leading to the establishment, maintenance, and extinction of fear memories. The amygdala has been critically involved in the processing of fear memories and a number of molecular changes have been ...

Emotional memories require coordinated activity of the amygdala and hippocampus. Human intracranial recordings have shown that formation of aversive memories involves an amygdala theta-hippocampal gamma phase code.

Genetic variations in the serotonergic system contribute to amygdala volume in humans [PDF]
The amygdala plays a critical role in emotion processing and psychiatric disorders associated with emotion dysfunction. Accumulating evidence suggests that amygdala structure is modulated by serotonin-related genes.

Insula-amygdala functional connectivity is correlated with habituation to repeated negative images [PDF]
Behavioral habituation during repeated exposure to aversive stimuli is an adaptive process. However, the way in which changes in self-reported emotional experience are related to the neural mechanisms supporting habituation remains unclear.

Influences of Morphine on the Spontaneous and Evoked Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents in Lateral Amygdala of Rats [PDF]
Acute morphine exposure induces antinociceptive activity, but the underlying mechanisms in the central nervous system are unclear. Using whole-cell patch clamp recordings, we explore the role of morphine in the modulation of excitatory synaptic ...
