Hyperconnectivity of the lateral amygdala in long-term methamphetamine abstainers negatively correlated with withdrawal duration [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 Introduction: Several studies have reported structural and functional abnormalities of the amygdala caused by methamphetamine addiction. However, it is unknown whether abnormalities in amygdala function persist in long-term methamphetamine abstainers ...

The entorhinal cortex modulates trace fear memory formation and neuroplasticity in the mouse lateral amygdala via cholecystokinin [PDF]
eLife, 2021 Although fear memory formation is essential for survival and fear-related mental disorders, the neural circuitry and mechanism are incompletely understood. Here, we utilized trace fear conditioning to study the formation of trace fear memory in mice.

Pavlovian fear conditioning activates a common pattern of neurons in the lateral amygdala of individual brains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Understanding the physical encoding of a memory (the engram) is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Although it has been established that the lateral amygdala is a key site for encoding associative fear memory, it is currently unclear whether the ...

Synaptic and intrinsic plasticity within overlapping lateral amygdala ensembles following fear conditioning [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionNew learning results in modulation of intrinsic plasticity in the underlying brain regions. Such changes in intrinsic plasticity can influence allocation and encoding of future memories such that new memories encoded during the period of ...

Smaller volumes in the lateral and basal nuclei of the amygdala in patients with panic disorder. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The amygdala plays an important functional role in fear and anxiety. Abnormalities in the amygdala are believed to be involved in the neurobiological basis of panic disorder (PD).

Surface morphology of amygdala is associated with trait anxiety. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Previous neuroimaging studies have suggested a role of amygdala in trait anxiety level, in which amygdala was typically treated as a whole. To date, it remains unknown whether the morphology of specific subregions of amygdala are associated with trait ...

Gastrin-releasing peptide signaling plays a limited and subtle role in amygdala physiology and aversive memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Links between synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala (LA) and Pavlovian fear learning are well established. Neuropeptides including gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) can modulate LA function. GRP increases inhibition in the LA and mice lacking the GRP
