Recent neuroimaging studies have established a sex-related hemispheric lateralization of
amygdala involvement in memory for emotionally arousing material. Here, we examine the …

Human amygdalae are involved in various behavioral functions such as affective and stress
processing. For these behavioral functions, as well as for psychophysiological arousal …

The amygdala is a hub in emotional processing, including that of negative affect. Healthy
men and women have distinct differences in amygdala responses, potentially setting the …

The amygdala appears necessary for enhanced long-term memory associated with
emotionally arousing events. Recent brain imaging investigations support this view and …

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 …

During adolescence, considerable social and biological changes occur that interact with
functional brain maturation, some of which are sex-specific. The amygdala is one brain area …

The involvement of the human amygdala in emotion-related processing has been studied
using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for many years. However, despite the …

Background: Converging neuroimaging research suggests altered emotion neurocircuitry in
individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Emotion activation studies in these …

Sex differences have been observed in neurobehavioral measures and in neuroanatomic
studies. Men and women differ in emotion processing, including perception, experience and …

The amygdalae are important, if not critical, brain regions for many affective, attentional and
memorial processes, and dysfunction of the amygdalae has been a consistent finding in the …
