A pioneering study investigating the brain activity of dogs during scent detection has unveiled crucial insights into their ...

With an original rt-fMRI-NFB study, Lieberman et al. tested the feasibility of downregulating activity in the amygdala or the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) in a sample of patients suffering from ...

Background: The basolateral complex of the amygdala is a crucial neurobiological site for Pavlovian conditioning. Investigations into volumetric alterations of the basolateral amygdala in individuals ...

Recent work has implicated the amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex in morality and, when dysfunctional, psychopathy. This model proposes that the amygdala, through stimulus-reinforcement ...

However, if a researcher exposes someone to scary stimuli, like the image of a snake, and their amygdala lights up in an fMRI, it’s clear the snake is responsible for the amygdala’s response. What if ...

amygdala, and thalamus during verbal working memory (vWM) stages. These areas are key for memory and early indicators of neurodegenerative diseases and aging. While previous research primarily ...

The study reveals insights into dogs’ olfactory systems that could pave the way for new applications in law enforcement, healthcare, and rescue operations.
