Parallel amygdala and inferotemporal activation reflect emotional intensity and fear relevance (2005, background): “Although fMRI offers greater temporal and spatial resolution than PET, some investigations of small animal phobia have also not reported amygdala activity during fear cue exposure (Paquette et al., 2003; Wright et al., 2003).”
The Nature, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Neuroticism (2014, neutral): “…stress disorder (Shin et al., 2005), generalized anxiety disorder (Etkin, Prater, Hoeft, Menon, & Schatzberg, 2010; Hoehn-Saric, Schlund, & Wong, 2004; Paulesu et al., 2010), specific phobia (Paquette et al., 2003; Straube, Mentzel, & Miltner, 2006), and depression (Holmes et al., 2012).”
The Neurocircuitry of Fear, Stress, and Anxiety Disorders (2011, background): “However, numerous studies have not reported exaggerated amygdala activation in specific phobia (Hermann et al, 2007; Larson et al, 2006; Paquette et al, 2003; Straube et al, 2004b, 2007; Wik et al, 1996, 1997; Wright et al, 2003), perhaps in part due to methodological differences, such as the use…”
