Examplesofamygdalaamygdala Unfortunately this cannot account for the differences observed between appetitive and aversive tasks in non-primate species followingamygdaladamage.From theCambridge English Corpus Partial correlation coefficients controlling for total brain volume were used to examine the relationship betweenamygdalaand hippocampal volumes and demographic, cognitive and clinical variables.From theCambridge English Corpus Thus, it is possible that right prefrontal asymmetry results in reduced inhibitory signals toward theamygdala, which would then maintain aversive-related responses.From theCambridge English Corpus Interestingly, even theamygdalawas more active during imitation than during observation of facial expressions.From theCambridge English Corpus Given the extensive interconnections between theamygdalaand orbitofrontal regions one might also expect to see alterations in the ventral frontal regions as well.From theCambridge English Corpus At an operational level, we are seeking to determine whether a change in the connectivity of theamygdalamight be associated with the behavioral alterations.From theCambridge English Corpus Increasedamygdalaand insula activation during emotion processing in anxiety-prone subjects.From theCambridge English Corpus In addition to these behavioral differences, preterm children exhibited lower regional brain volumes in the cortex, ventricles, basal ganglia,amygdala, hippocampus, and corpus callosum.From theCambridge English Corpus In addition, it provides very clear anatomical and functional accounts of the orbitofrontal cortex, theamygdala, and the peripheral nervous system.From theCambridge English Corpus Event-related activation in theamygdalaassociates with later memory for individual emotional experience.From theCambridge English Corpus As predicted, there was significant attenuation of affective load-response by patients with mania in the anterior cingulate cortex andamygdala.From theCambridge English Corpus Quenching inhibition of development and expression ofamygdalakindled seizures with low frequency stimulation.From theCambridge English Corpus This factor appears to have a basis in subcortical limbic function, particularly the medial temporal lobe structures, theamygdala, and hippocampus.From theCambridge English Corpus Magnetic resonance imaging volumes of the hippocampus and theamygdalain women with borderline personality disorder and early traumatization.From theCambridge English Corpus In comparison to normal controls, a subject with bilateralamygdaladamage had difficulty identifying emotions (happy, angry, sad) in sentences that were read to her.From theCambridge English Corpus These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
