A growing body of evidence suggests that the amygdala is central to handling the demands
of complex social life in primates. In this paper, we synthesize extant anatomical and …

An increasing amount of research effort is being directed toward investigating the neural
bases of social cognition from a systems neuroscience perspective. Evidence from multiple …

Strong evidence indicates that reciprocal connections between the amygdala and the
medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) support fundamental aspects of emotional behavior in …

Studying the neural basis of primate social cognition is a relatively recent enterprise which
has been facilitated by expansive growths in the fields of neuroscience and primatology …

Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from two independent
samples of healthy adults, we parsed the amygdala's intrinsic connectivity into three partially …

Brain-wide circuits that coordinate affective and social behaviours intersect in the amygdala.
Consequently, amygdala lesions cause a heterogeneous array of social and non-social …

The medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala are involved in the regulation of social behavior
and associated with psychiatric diseases but their detailed neurophysiological mechanisms …

Recent human imaging and animal studies highlight the importance of frontoamygdala
circuitry in the regulation of emotional behavior and its disruption in anxiety-related …

The medial amygdala (MeA) is critical for the expression of a broad range of social
behaviors, and is also connected to many other brain regions that mediate those same …

Observations from human subjects with focal brain lesions and animal subjects with
experimental lesions have implicated a variety of brain regions in the mediation of social …
