TL;DR: This study, using fMRI in conjunction with masked stimulus presentations, represents an initial step toward determining the role of the amygdala in nonconscious processing.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the four subcomponents observed in non-human primates can also be found in the human brain using in vivo diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) is evaluated and it is demonstrated that thefour subdivisions could indeed be identified and segmented in humans.

TL;DR: This work provides the first evidence for exaggerated amygdala responses to general negative stimuli in PTSD by using a probe that emphasizes automaticity and provides initial evidence of amygdala hyperresponsivity dissociated from the "top-down" influences of medial frontal cortex.

TL;DR: The anterior cingulate cortex has been activated by color Stroop tasks, supporting the hypothesis that it is recruited to mediate response selection or allocate attentional resources when confronted with competing information‐processing streams.

TL;DR: The ecStroop will be a useful fMRI probe of ACad function in anxiety disorders and offer a within-group spatial dissociation of AC function based upon information content (i.e., cognitive vs. emotional) and/or presence of behavioral interference.
