A wealth of animal data implicates the amygdala in aspects of emotional processing. In
recent years, functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies have begun to refine …

While the amygdala is often implicated in the neurobiology of posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), the pattern of results remains mixed. One reason for this may be the heterogeneity …

Emotions are an indispensable part of our mental life. The term emotion regulation refers to
those processes that influence the generation, the experience and the expression of …

Although the amygdala complex is a brain area critical for human behavior, knowledge of its
subspecialization is primarily derived from experiments in animals. We here employed …

The amygdala is composed of structurally and functionally distinct nuclei that contribute to
the processing of emotion through interactions with other subcortical and cortical structures …

There is a wide range of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study designs
available for the neuroscientist who wants to investigate cognition. In this manuscript we …

A common problem in gradient-echo echo planar imaging (EPI) is the occurrence of image
distortions and signal losses caused by susceptibility gradients near air/tissue interfaces …

Responses to threat-related stimuli are influenced by conscious and unconscious
processes, but the neural systems underlying these processes and their relationship to …

Much research demonstrates that emotional stimuli prompt increased amygdala and visual
cortical activation. Here we measure functional activity in the visual cortex and amygdala …

Most functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies record the blood oxygen level-
dependent (BOLD) signal using fast gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (GE EPI). However …
