The COVID-19 pandemic brings many psychological and physical changes. In coping with the pandemic, breathing exercise meditation is useful to calm mind body. Breathing practice can change brain, especially amygdala. This paper aims give insight about amygdala changes through in pandemic. Methods: a literature review. Literature was identified from archives PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier. inclu...

AGGLETON, J. P., M. PETRIDES AND S. D. IVERSEN. Differential effects ofamygdaloid lesions on conditioned taste aversion learning by rats. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 27(3) 397-400, 1981.--Rats with electrolytic lesions placed in either the basolateral or corticomedial divisions of the amygdala acquired a conditioned taste aversion to sucrose. Comparisons with a surgical control group indicated that damage ...

This paper looks into the dual route model of fear conditioning using gammatone filterbank for auditory pre-processing, in order to extract contiguous frequency bands from auditory stimuli, as seen in auditory nerves. The model focuses on two routes i.e., the cortical pathway using the auditory cortex as a messenger between auditory thalamus and the amygdala & the sub-cortical pathway where, th...

Rats with neurotoxic lesions of the basolateral amygdala were trained in procedures designed to assess the formation of within-event, taste-odor associations. In Experiments 1 and 2 the animals were given initial exposure to a taste-odor compound; the value of the taste was then modified, and the consequent change in responding to the odor was taken to indicate that an odor-taste association ha...

BACKGROUND Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by the presence of multiple congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) and the proliferation of melanocytes in the central nervous system, usually involving the leptomeninges. Chronic partial epilepsy as a sole manifestation is rare in NCM. CASE REPORT A 32-year-old man suffering from chronic partial epilepsy pre...

Neuroscientists have often described cognition and emotion as separable processes implemented by different regions of the brain, such as the amygdala for emotion and the prefrontal cortex for cognition. In this framework, functional interactions between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex mediate emotional influences on cognitive processes such as decision-making, as well as the cognitive regula...

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder of emotional and mental stress occurring as an outcome of injury or severe emotional shock. Several Neuroimaging studies in humans have shown the functions and relationship between the anatomical changes of brain and PTSD. The three major areas of the brain are affected by PTSD .These three areas are the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cor...

OBJECTIVE Late-life depressive symptoms (DS) increase the risk of incident mild cognitive impairment and probable dementia in the elderly. Our objectives were to examine the relationship between elevated DS and regional brain volumes including frontal lobe subregions, hippocampus and amygdala, and to determine whether elevated DS were associated with increased subclinical cerebrovascular diseas...

The hippocampus and the amygdala are involved in avoidance learning in mammals. The medial and lateral pallia of actinopterygian fish have been proposed as homologous to the mammalian pallial amygdala and hippocampus, respectively, on the basis of neuroanatomical findings. This work was aimed at studying the effects of ablation of the medial telencephalic pallia (MP) and lateral telencephalic p...
