[HTML][HTML] Connectivity from the ventral anterior cingulate to the amygdala is modulated by appetitive motivation in response to facial signals of aggression
For some people facial expressions of aggression are intimidating, for others they are
perceived as provocative, evoking an aggressive response. Identifying the key …

Robust BOLD responses to faces but not to conditioned threat: challenging the amygdala's reputation in human fear and extinction learning
Most of our knowledge about human emotional memory comes from animal research. Based
on this work, the amygdala is often labeled the brain's “fear center”, but it is unclear to what …

S ex‐related differences in behavioral and amygdalar responses to compound facial threat cues
During face perception, we integrate facial expression and eye gaze to take advantage of
their shared signals. For example, fear with averted gaze provides a congruent avoidance …

Sliding-window analysis tracks fluctuations in amygdala functional connectivity associated with physiological arousal and vigilance during fear conditioning
We evaluated whether sliding-window analysis can reveal functionally relevant brain
network dynamics during a well-established fear conditioning paradigm. To this end, we …

Feeling without seeing? Engagement of ventral, but not dorsal, amygdala during unaware exposure to emotional faces
The ability to selectively perceive items in the environment may be modulated by the
emotional content of those items. The neural mechanism that underlies the privileged …

Serotonin transporter genotype modulates subgenual response to fearful faces using an incidental task
This study assessed the impact of serotonin transporter genotype (5-HTTLPR) on regional

Rapid processing of invisible fearful faces in the human amygdala
Rapid detection of a threat or its symbol (eg, fearful face), whether visible or invisible, is
critical for human survival. This function is suggested to be enabled by a subcortical pathway …
