4 days ago · Table of Contents. Nestled deep in the brain’s temporal lobe lies a small but mighty structure, the amygdala, a neural powerhouse that holds the key to our emotional lives and shapes our behavior in profound ways. This almond-shaped cluster of neurons, no larger than a couple of centimeters in size, packs a punch when it comes to influencing ...
4 days ago · The brain’s prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus form a powerful triad that orchestrates our thoughts, emotions, and memories, shaping the very essence of who we are. This intricate dance of neural connections is the foundation of our cognitive abilities, personality, and behavior.
2 days ago · What fear does to your brain and body. The body's fear response, or fight-or-flight response, always begins in the amygdala —a part of the brain's limbic system that's critical for recognizing ...
4 days ago · Nestled deep within the brain’s temporal lobe, the almond-shaped amygdala holds the key to decoding our emotional experiences, and advanced MRI techniques are revolutionizing our understanding of this crucial structure.
3 days ago · The amygdala, which is responsible for perceiving fear, sends a signal to the hypothalamus, which regulates your body and brain chemistry. The hypothalamus then stimulates the adrenal glands to ...
4 days ago · Chronic pain induces neuroinflammation in brain regions such as the amygdala (Barcelon et al., 2019) and is positively correlated with inflammatory cytokine levels (Palada et al., 2019), leading to an increased activation of inflammatory factors in brain microglia and central nervous system inflammation (Inoue & Tsuda, 2018), resulting in synaptic remodeling and altered brain network function ...
4 days ago · The amygdala, a complex structure consisting of nine subnuclei, and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) levels play crucial roles in pain regulation and cognitive processing. This study aims to investigate the relationships among amygdala subregion volumes, cognitive function, and PD-1 levels to elucidate the underlying mechanism ...
