The work is published Oct. 30 in the American Journal of Psychiatry. "The amygdala is central to emotion processing in the brain, and is known to contribute to fear and anxiety," said Drew Fox ...
We examined neural activity in rat orbitofrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala during instrumental learning in an olfactory discrimination task. Neurons in both regions fired selectively during ...
A number of neural structures play a role in anxiety, but the one that gives it its strong emotional color is the amygdala. The rational, thinking prefrontal cortex is responsible for interpreting ...

Dysfunction of neurons in the amygdala may be behind negative perceptions of the environment"To analyze how the amygdala functions during depression, we measured the activity of some networks of neurons involved in the more or less negative interpretation of olfactory stimuli," says Alonso.
