DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2020.07.038
Abstract: Many brain areas represent aspects of learned behavior. How do representations differ between regions? In this issue of Neuron, Kyriazi et al. (2020) show how the amygdala and prefrontal cortex use distinct strategies to code features… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0033291718002519
Abstract: Abstract Background Neurobiological models of stress and stress-related mental illness, including post-traumatic stress disorder, converge on the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). While a surge of research has reported altered structural and functional connectivity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/rev0000339
Abstract: A revised view of the amygdala, its relationship with the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and its role in intelligent human decision-making is proposed. Based on recent findings, we present a framework in which the amygdala plays… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.13056
Abstract: Humans learn about their environments by observing others, including what to fear and what to trust. Observational fear learning may be especially important early in life when children turn to their parents to gather information… read more here.

Abnormal Functional and Structural Connectivity of Amygdala-Prefrontal Circuit in First-Episode Adolescent Depression: A Combined fMRI and DTI Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Psychiatry"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2019.00983
Abstract: Background Abnormalities of functional and structural connectivity in the amygdala-prefrontal circuit which involved with emotion processing have been implicated in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD). Adolescent MDD may have severer dysfunction of emotion processing… read more here.
