Fearfulfacial expressions evoke increased neural responses in human amygdala. We used
event-related fMRI to investigate whether eye or mouth components of a fearful face are …

Previous functional neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that the amygdala activates in
response to fearful faces presented below the threshold of conscious visual perception …

We have previously reported that bilateral amygdala damage in humans compromises the
recognition of fear in facial expressions while leaving intact recognition of face identity …

We used fMRI to examine amygdala activation in response to fearful facial expressions,
measured over multiple scanning sessions. 15 human subjects underwent three scanning …

The human amygdala can be robustly activated by presenting fearful faces, and it has been
speculated that this activation has functional relevance for redirecting the gaze toward the …

We recently demonstrated a functional relationship between fMRI responses within the
amygdala and the medial prefrontal cortex based upon whether subjects interpreted …

Facial expressions of emotion elicit increased activity in the human amygdala. Such
increases are particularly evident for expressions that convey potential threat to the …

Despite the many studies highlighting the role of the amygdala in fear perception, few have
examined differences between right and left amygdalar responses. Using functional …

The amygdala has been considered to be essential for recognizing fear in other people's
facial expressions. Recent studies shed doubt on this interpretation. Here we used movies of …

Behavioural evidence indicates that individual differences in anxiety influence the response
to facial signals of threat. Angry and fearful faces represent qualitatively different forms of …
