PLoS ONE, 2007 GABAergic transmission in the amygdala modulates the expression of anxiety. Understanding the interplay between GABAergic transmission and excitatory circuits in the amygdala is, therefore, critical for understanding the neurobiological basis of anxiety.

Cogent Psychology, 2016 The human amygdala consciously and nonconsciously processes facial expressions and directs spatial attention to them. Research has shown that amygdala activity habituates after repeated exposure to emotionally salient stimuli during passive viewing tasks.

Amygdala activity to angry and fearful faces relates to bullying and victimization in adolescents. [PDF]
, 2019 Relational bullying and victimization are common social experiences during adolescence, but relatively little functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research has examined the neural correlates of bullying and victimization in adolescents.

Impaired judgments of sadness but not happiness following bilateral amygdala damage [PDF]
, 2004 Although the amygdala's role in processing facial expressions of fear has been well established, its role in the processing of other emotions is unclear.

Primate Amygdalo-Nigral Pathway for Boosting Oculomotor Action in Motivating Situations
iScience, 2020 Summary: A primary function of the primate amygdala is to modulate behavior based on emotional cues. To study the underlying neural mechanism, we first inactivated the amygdala locally and temporarily by injecting a GABA agonist.

The alpha1 subunit of the GABA(A) receptor modulates fear learning and plasticity in the lateral amygdala. [PDF]
, 2009 Synaptic plasticity in the amygdala is essential for emotional learning. Fear conditioning, for example, depends on changes in excitatory transmission that occur following NMDA receptor activation and AMPA receptor modification in this region.

eLife, 2020 The mechanisms linking maternal stress in pregnancy with infant neurodevelopment in a sexually dimorphic manner are poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that maternal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, measured by hair cortisol ...

Molecular Brain, 2021 Memory reconsolidation is thought to maintain or enhance an original memory or add new information to the memory. Retrieved inhibitory avoidance (IA) memory is enhanced through memory reconsolidation by activating gene expression in the amygdala, medial ...

Amygdala functional connectivity as a longitudinal biomarker of symptom changes in generalized anxiety [PDF]
, 2016 Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive worry, autonomic dysregulation and functional amygdala dysconnectivity, yet these illness markers have rarely been considered together, nor their interrelationship tested longitudinally. We

Afraid of the dark: Light acutely suppresses activity in the human amygdala.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Light improves mood. The amygdala plays a critical role in regulating emotion, including fear-related responses. In rodents the amygdala receives direct light input from the retina, and light may play a role in fear-related learning.
