Implicit race attitudes predict trustworthiness judgments and economic trust decisions (2011, positive): “Supporting this, the amygdala, a subcortical group of nuclei involved in automatic processing of emotional stimuli and fear learning (18), has been implicated in both trustworthiness evaluations (3, 4) and the expression of race-related implicit biases (19 – 21) [although it is not necessary for…”
Neural bases of the non-conscious perception of emotional signals (2010, background): “The amygdala is perhaps the most extensively studied subcortical structure that is involved in emotion processing, particularly with respect to its role in the perception and response to dange”
The social neuroscience of intergroup relations (2008, background): “Many studies have examined fear conditioning—associating an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US) with a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS)—in animals such as rats (Davis, 1992) as well as humans (e.g., Adolphs et al., 1995; Phelps & LeDoux, 2005).”
Research review: the neurobiology and genetics of maltreatment and adversity. (2010, background): “The amygdala plays a key role in evaluating potentially threatening information, fear conditioning, emotional processing, and memory for emotional events (see Phelps & LeDoux, 2005).”
RETHINKING THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN (2012, positive): “The evidence for conservation across mammals of mechanisms underlying survival functions such as defense (e.g., LeDoux, 1996, 2012; Phelps and LeDoux, 2005; Motta et al., 2009; Choi et al., 2005; Kalin et al., 2004; Amaral, 2003; Antoniadis et al., 2007), reproduction (e.g., Pfaff, 1999; Oomura et…”

The Biology of Trust: Integrating Evidence From Genetics, Endocrinology, and Functional Brain Imaging (2012, background): “Research has found that amygdala activity is typically associated with negatively valenced emotions (in particular fear) and with high levels of arousal (Phelps & LeDoux, 2005).”
Social learning of fear (2007, methodology): “has established this procedure as a model of fear learnin”
Joy and Calm: How an Evolutionary Functional Model of Affect Regulation Informs Positive Emotions in Nature (2016, background): “…upon the research of LeDoux (1998, 2014), the amygdala is well-established as playing a key role in the processing of emotional information, regulating emotional responses and controlling fear reactions in a range of species (see for example Fox et al. 2015; Phelps and Ledoux 2005 for reviews).”
Reinforcement learning signal predicts social conformity. (2009, methodology): “Here, we utilize the cognitive neuroscience approach (Phelps and LeDoux, 2005) to provide a useful framework for studying reinforcement learning mechanisms of conformity.”
Neural Circuitry Underlying the Regulation of Conditioned Fear and Its Relation to Extinction (2008, positive): “Neuroimaging Results Emotion Regulation The contrast of CS+ and CS– trials yielded regions previously associated with fear conditioning (Buchel and Dolan, 2000; Buchel et al., 1998; Delgado et al., 2006; LaBar et al., 1998; Phelps et al., 2004; Phelps and LeDoux, 2005) during both Attend and Regulat”
