The dynamic interactions between the amygdala and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are
usefully conceptualized as a circuit that both allows us to react automatically to biologically …

Here, we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and showed that the strength of an axonal
pathway identified between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex predicted individual differences …

Anxiety is linked to compromised interactions between the amygdala and the dorsal and
ventral medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). While numerous task-based neuroimaging studies …

Intrinsic connectivity, measured using resting-state fMRI, has emerged as a fundamental tool
in the study of the human brain. However, due to practical limitations, many studies do not …

Objective Several neuroimaging meta‐analyses have summarized structural brain changes
in major depression using coordinate‐based methods. These methods might be biased …

Previous brain imaging studies have reported that major depressive disorder (MDD) is
characterized by decreased volumes of several cortical and subcortical structures, including the …

Background It has long been suggested that feedback signals from facial muscles influence
emotional experience. The recent surge in use of botulinum toxin (BTX) to induce temporary …

In this study, we compared the effects of using neutral face masks vs non-face pattern masks
on amygdala activity to masked fearful faces. Twenty-seven subjects viewed 18 s blocks of …

Objective Early alcohol use initiation predicts onset of alcohol use disorders in adulthood.
However, little is known about developmental trajectories of alcohol use initiation and their …

Unpredictable environments can be anxiety-provoking and elicit exaggerated emotional
responses to aversive stimuli. Even neutral stimuli, when presented in an unpredictable fashion, …
