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 …

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

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

Recent research into the effects of hormonal contraceptives on emotion processing and
brain function suggests that hormonal contraceptive users show (a) reduced accuracy in …

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 …

Sex-specific behaviors are in part based on hormonal regulation of brain physiology. This
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study demonstrated significant differences in …

Anxiety impacts the quality of everyday life and may facilitate the development of affective
disorders, possibly through concurrent alterations in neural circuitry. Findings from …

Background In view of the greater prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in women
than in men, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have examined sex …

Functional connectivities of the amygdala support emotional and cognitive processing. Life-
span development of resting-state functional connectivities (rsFC) of the amygdala may …

Sex-related differences in emotion regulation (ER) in the frequency power distribution within
the human amygdala, a brain region involved in emotion processing, have been reported …
