Oxytocin: the Great Facilitator of Life (2009, neutral): “The amygdala is well known for its role in the acquisition, modulation and storage of emotional memory (Davis and Whalen, 2001; LeDoux, 2007; Pare et al., 2004; Schulkin et al., 2003).”
Frequency in lexical processing (2016, background): “Interestingly, it has been argued that a subcortical pathway exists for the processing of emotion-rich stimuli (LeDoux, 2007; Phelps & LeDoux, 2005), enabling adequate and quick “fight or flight” responses, and consistent with this possibility, Scott, O’Donnell, Leuthold, and Sereno (2009) and…”
Gut instincts: microbiota as a key regulator of brain development, ageing and neurodegeneration (2017, background): “The amygdala is a critical brain area for social behaviour as well as being a key node for the gating of anxiety and fear-related behaviour (Ledoux, 2007; Stilling et al. 2015).”
The amygdala and reward (2002, background): “Indeed, we believe that an important goal of future research will be to develop a unitary, integrative theory of amygdala function that can account for the diverse effects of amygdala damage on behaviour, taking into account the different functional roles of particular nuclei and their connection”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, methodology): “LeDoux et al. 1983; 1985; 1990; for reviews see Fanselow & Poulous 2005; Fendt & Fanselow 1999; LeDoux 2007; Öhman 2009; and “fear potentiated startle”: Davis 1992; Hitchcock & Davis 1986; 1987; see Davis et al. 2008; Fendt & Fanselow 1999).”
The Neurobiology of Parental Behavior (2003, background): “…between the various corticomedial amygdalar nuclei, both primary olfactory and vomeronasal input can reach the medial amygdaloid nucleus (Canteras, Simerly, Regulation of Maternal Responsiveness in Rats 75 & Swanson, 1995; Licht & Meredith, 1987; Scalia & Winans, 1975; Swanson & Petrovich, 1998).”
The Vertebrate mesolimbic reward system and social behavior network: A comparative synthesis (2011, background): “Inputs from the vomeronasal system are processed by the mammalian medial and cortical posteromedial amygdala via massive unidirectional projections (Scalia and Winans, 1975; Swanson and Petrovich, 1998) (Fig.”
The amygdaloid complex: anatomy and physiology. (2003, background): “The reduced fear and anger, “taming” effect, of amygdalar lesions is seen in many animal species (71).”
NEURAL CORRELATES OF EMOTIONAL MEMORIES: A REVIEW OF EVIDENCE FROM BRAIN IMAGING STUDIES (2012, background): “…memory processes occurring in other brain regions (McGaugh, 2000, 2004), the plasticity hypothesis proposes that AMY itself is a site of plasticity2 underlying learning and memory of fear conditioning, as well as reconsolidation of the memory trace following retrieval (LeDoux, 2007; LeDoux, 2000).”
