Although biases toward signals of fear may be an evolutionary adaptation necessary for
survival, heightened biases may be maladaptive and associated with anxiety or depression …

Expectation decreased the susceptibility to fearful stimuli in prior studies using distracting
tasks. The present study tests whether expectation remains effective in decreasing this …

The human brain's ability to quickly detect dangerous stimuli is crucial in selecting
appropriate responses to possible threats. Trait anxiety has been suggested to moderate …

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded from anxious and nonanxious
participants during performance on a fear detection task. Sequential presentation of …

Fearful facial expressions are prioritized across different stages of information processing as
reflected by early, mid‐latency, and late components of event‐related brain potentials (ERP) …

Attentional bias towards threat is implicated in the etiology and maintenance of anxiety
disorders. We examined the neural correlates of threat bias in anxious and nonanxious …

We review likely neurobiological substrates of cognitions related to fear and anxiety.
Cognitive processes are linked to abnormal early activity reflecting hypervigilance in …

Human neuroimaging studies implicate the amygdala, medial prefrontal and somatosensory-
related cortices as key neural components in the perception of facial fear signals. Yet, their …

BACKGROUND: Anxiety vulnerability is associated with biases in attention: a tendency to
selectively process negative relative to neutral or positive information. It is not clear whether …

While much research has elucidated the neurobiology of fear learning, the neural systems
supporting the generalization of learned fear are unknown. Using functional magnetic …
