the amygdala is a forebrain region, which is known as a modulator of pain sensation. the amygdala, particularly the central nucleus, has high concentrations of enkephalins relative to dynorphins and has high concentrations of opioid receptors. we here studied the role of central nuclei of amygdala in morphine antinociception. methods: in this study, we used 130 male wistar rats (200- 250g). bil...

  In this study, the effect of an experimentally increased excitability in hippocampal neurons, via hippocampal kindling, on amygdala kindling rate was investigated in rats. Animals were divided into 4 groups. In all groups, except group 2, tripolar electrodes were implanted in the amygdala and CAI region of the dorsal hippocampus. Group 2 animals were only implanted with tripolar electrodes in...

Background: Household income and other socioeconomic position (SEP) indicators are among the most salient social determinants of children’s emotions and behaviors. Some research has shown that income and other SEP indicators may have certain sex-specific effects on the structures and functions of particular brain regions. Objectives: To investigate sex differences in the association of househ...

Introduction: Many studies have shown that amygdala kindling produces synaptic potentiation by induction of changes in the neuronal electrophysiological properties and inward currents both in epileptic focus and in the areas which are in connection with the epileptic focus and have important role in seizure development and progression such as hippocampal CA1 region. However, cellular mechani...

abstractintroduction: previous investigations have shown that protein malnutrition can alters the structure and function of some areas of hippocampal formation. we investigated the effect of protein malnutrition on amygdaloid projections to the ca1 hippocampal area. in this study we investigated level and pattern of distribution of efferent projections from amygdala to hippocampus in the rat by...

The paper is a hypothesis/inestigative that dives into the causes for "serial killer" behavior. main claim amygdala one of vioent Examples such as Ted Bundy and Ed Gein are desrcibed analyzed to find connection between their actions dyfunctional amygdalas. crimes his remorseless killings reveals psychopathic behavior most likely caused by problems with amygdala. Gein's childhood trauama unhealt...

Background: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common type of intractable and partial epilepsies. The only standard treatment for seizure-free status with manifest TLE surgical which includes amygdala-hippocampectomy. majority temporal seizures originate in mesial structures, primarily hippocampus, para hippocampal gyrus amygdala.

The etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia to date appears unclear. Multiple types research have focused attention on the possible etiological role amygdala. amygdala is involved in emotion processing, cognitive function, and social cognition; these aspects appear severely impaired schizophrenia. In this brief review, we will look at studies that correlated morpho-functional with psychopathological ...

Abstract The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is a key region involved in emotion regulation and an effective target for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment depression. Evidence shows that the dlPFC connects with amygdala, emotional responses processing, during regulation. Yet, our understanding of causal regulatory role on amygdala minimal. We performed 3 m...
