These findings therefore reveal that aversive memory formation in humans depends on an amygdala-hippocampus "phase code": The amygdala coordinates the neuronal activity in the hippocampus, ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers investigated whether post-encoding ripples improve emotional memory through amygdala-hippocampal memory restoration or ...

Summary: Researchers uncovered a sex-specific molecular process that dictates how the female brain forms and consolidates fear memories. The study demonstrates that women are twice as likely as men to ...
Women are twice as likely as men to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—and new research may offer a biological ...
Researchers at Universidad Miguel Hernandez have identified a specific population of neurons in the central lateral amygdala ...
Researchers corrected the expression of a single overactive gene in the amygdala of mice and reversed anxiety, ...
A newly identified group of amygdala neurons appears to play a central role in anxiety and social behavior. Restoring normal ...
The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a region of the brain that has been almost exclusively studied in the context of fear and emotion. Only recently have researchers begun to question whether the BLA ...
