A neural circuit mechanism explains how chronic extreme heat exposure affects emotions in the mouse model.

Increased theta/alpha band activities within the habenula area and the prefrontal cortex, as well as the increased synchrony between the two structures in the same frequency band can serve as an indicator for negative emotions in humans.

Primate amygdala neurons provide a coordinated representation of space and motivational significance whereby amygdala responses to visual stimuli predicting either rewards or aversive stimuli could influence spatial attention in a similar manner.

Central amygdala neurons encode the valence and salience of unconditioned stimuli.

Stimulation of specific neurons within the hypothalamus triggers a fear-like emotion state and behavioral response in mice, challenging the textbook view that the hypothalamus serves simply as a relay for emotion states encoded in the amygdala.

A novel computational pipeline uses time-frequency analysis to capture the dynamics of human facial expressions, and demonstrates abnormal facial dynamics in melancholic depression.

Non-invasive manipulation of endogenously coupled neural rhythms enhances human control of social-emotional actions.

Machine learning analyses reveal that the observation of acute pain inflictions and facial expressions of pain evoke shared pain-specific neural representations.

Neuroimaging shows brain responses to emotional pictures are more diminished in alcoholic men than in alcoholic women, implicating gender-related mechanisms of addiction.

Intentionally preventing the retrieval of an unwanted memory hinders future attempts to reactivate the memory’s neural representation and causes a reduction in the vividness with which it can be recalled.
