Stress-Induced Functional Alterations in Amygdala: Implications for Neuropsychiatric Diseases

The amygdala plays a major role in the processing of physiologic and behavioral responses to stress and is characterized by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated high inhibitory tone under resting state. Human and animal studies showed that stress lead to a hyperactivity of amygdala, which was acc...
