|
| The action of the amygdala in the limbic system functions as an alarm system, eliciting responses to cues in the present as if they were the original danger. |
|
| Similarly, there's a lot of research on how a brain region called the amygdala regulates anxiety. |
|
| These include structures such as the amygdala, which have a wider role in regulating emotions and mood. |
|
| The effects of unpleasant stimulation are presumed to enhance the startle reflex through evocation of learned or innate responses in the amygdala. |
|
| A variety of evidence shows that the amygdala is not the site of long-term memory. |
|
| Your pulse quickens, your amygdala fires, your respiration is off the charts. |
|
| In particular, glucocorticoid effects on memory consolidation require them to act on the amygdala. |
|
|
|
| It's really fun to have your amygdala fire and experience a harmless, brief scary moment or two. |
|
| These two agents, glucocorticoids and adrenaline, have significant effects on the body, but they also affect the functions of the amygdala. |
|
| Behavioural learning takes place in the limbic system in our brain, which comprises the amygdala and the hippocampus. |
|
| A few seconds later, presumably as the person responded to the humor, brain regions called the insula and amygdala became active across both hemispheres of the brain. |
|
| His aorta and amygdala do not receive this information by automatic transfer. |
|
| One limbic structure affected by this early maldevelopment is the amygdala, which generates emotions like fear. |
|
| These feelings are stored separately, in the brain region called the amygdala. |
|
| This includes the CA1 and subiculum of the hippocampal region and its interface to the basolateral and basomedial regions of the amygdala. |
|
| The mechanism of muricide behavior probably involves a discrete area of the brain, the amygdala. |
|
| Stress hormones flood and engorge the amygdala. |
|
| We reported homeostatic adaptations of synaptic plasticity in response to chronic cannabinoid or stress in vivo and unraveled a new substrate of cannabinoids effects in the extended amygdala. |
|
| Each lobe includes an amygdala and a seahorse-shaped structure called the hippocampus. The operation was successful: H. M. experienced only two serious seizures during the subsequent year. |
|
| This conclusion led some forensic investigators to hypothesize that Whitman's tumour may have been pushed against the amygdala regions of his brain, which influence fight-flight responses. |
|
| It is extensive, and the different parts within it include the hippocampus, the cingulate gyrus and amygdala. |
|
| The excised tissue included most of the sea-horse-shaped structure called the hippocampus, as well as the parahippocampal gyrus, the uncus, the anterior temporal cortex, and the almond-shaped amygdala. |
|
| An examination of the proconvulsant actions of pyrethroid insecticides using pentylenetetrazol and amygdala kindling seizure models. |
|
| These findings further characterized the role of the amygdala in fear processing, as well as defining selective roles for the frontal, parietal, and lateral orbitofrontal cortices in spatial attention. |
|
| Again, they found amygdala, visual cortex, and interoceptive cortex activity went up with increased vividness. |
|
| He wondered if a similar mechanism was at work in the emotion-associated memory loss the team discovered. The action of norepinephrine on the amygdala can be blocked by a drug called propranolol. |
|
| Smell is the single most influential sense in flavour appreciation, and unlike the other senses it is processed in an ancient part of the brain that deals with strong emotional responses and memory, the amygdala. |
|
|
|
| In mammals, fear is learnt using a part of the brain called the amygdala. |
|
| Furthermore, consolidation enhancement via the amygdala can be interrupted by the use of chemical antagonists that interfere with these processes in the amygdala. |
|
| This location was found to be the amygdala region of the brain-which was not too surprising since the amygdala has been known for years to be important in emotional responses. |
|
| The amygdala starts developing at birth and goes on until the late 20s, and the frontal lobe starts at around age eight and continues until late puberty. |
|
| A group of receptors known as NMDA receives information in response to a painful event, which then affects brain cells located in a region at the front of the brain known as the amygdala. |
|
| A woman's amygdala is smaller than a man's and also closer in size to her orbitofrontal cortex, the braking region that inhibits us from expressing emotions generated in the amygdala. |
|
| Fifty years ago, when Montreal neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield first mapped the brain, little was known about the amygdala, the cluster of structures perched above the brainstem. |
|
| Notice the placement of the amygdala in the high-field atlas with basolateral, basomedial, and centromedial subfields. |
|
| More stressed participants also had stronger connections between the amygdala and brain areas linked to emotional distress. |
|
| Fear is encoded in neural circuits and is stored in a specific part of the brain, in the central amygdala. |
|
| The subcortical pathway activating the amygdala passes through the superior colliculi and the pulvinar of the thalamus before accessing it. |
|
| Usually, the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala operate in tandem, a joint effort that seems to be involved in shutting down negative emotions. |
|
| People who have been given intravenous injections of procaine, which stimulates the amygdala, report panic sensations. |
|
| A set of frontal lobe neurons activated another set of neurons located in a subsection of the amygdala, the brain's fear-processing center. |
|
| Scientists have discovered that the size of the amygdala, a small structure in the brain, is direcetly related to the richness and variety social life. |
|
| Since then, the researchers have been examining stained sections of the substantia nigra, the locus coeruleus, and the amygdala for the presence of Lewy bodies. |
|
| The amygdala, twin almond-shaped structures in the forebrain, acted as a quick trigger that dealt with fear, anxiety and surprise, and also probably helped to make us angry. |
|
| Brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression is increased in the rat amygdala, piriform cortex and hypothalamus following repeated amphetamine administration. |
|
| The amygdala is involved in handling the emotional information. |
