Asymmetric engagement of amygdala and its gamma connectivity in early emotional face processing.
PLoS ONE, 2015 The amygdala has been regarded as a key substrate for emotion processing. However, the engagement of the left and right amygdala during the early perceptual processing of different emotional faces remains unclear. We investigated the temporal profiles of

Measuring amygdala volume [PDF]
British Journal of Psychiatry, 2002 Chance et al ([2002][1]) described volumetric measurement of the amygdala and found few differences between normal and schizophrenia post-mortem samples. This fails to confirm published magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data on hundreds of individuals which have been systematically reviewed ...

The emotional gatekeeper: a computational model of attentional selection and suppression through the pathway from the amygdala to the inhibitory thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]
, 2016 In a complex environment that contains both opportunities and threats, it is important for an organism to flexibly direct attention based on current events and prior plans. The amygdala, the hub of the brain's emotional system, is involved in forming and

The gray matter volume of the amygdala is correlated with the perception of melodic intervals: a voxel-based morphometry study [PDF]
, 2014 Music is not simply a series of organized pitches, rhythms, and timbres, it is capable of evoking emotions. In the present study, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was employed to explore the neural basis that may link music to emotion.

Strain-dependent variations in stress coping behavior are mediated by a 5-HT/GABA interaction within the prefrontal corticolimbic system [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Serotonin and γ- Aminobutyric acid (GABA) transmission is crucial in coping strategies. Methods: Here, using mice from 2 inbred strains widely exploited in behavioral neurochemistry, we investigated whether serotonin transmission in medial ...
