This study investigates how bradycardia during threat conditioning modulates spinal-brain connectivity in humans, revealing its role in defensive action preparation.

This study shows subcortical integration of reward and threat information before approach-avoidance decisions, challenging theories of separate processing.

This study shows that defensive freezing enhances threat-reward processing in the dACC during approach-avoidance decisions, improving decision-making under threat.

The paper links bradycardia states to approach-avoidance decision-making under threat, showing amygdala and dACC involvement in integrating value and physiological states.

This study shows that pupil size during rest correlates with activity in subcortical arousal system nuclei, indicating a noninvasive index of their activation.

The paper links changes in large-scale neural networks during lab stress to real-life affective reactivity.

This study shows that a working memory task downregulates the amygdala similarly to a cognitive reappraisal task, suggesting task demand, not reappraisal itself, drives amygdala deactivation.

The paper investigates whether gamma activity is stronger for later remembered compared to forgotten emotional pictures and finds it is enhanced for remembered pictures, especially arousing ones.

This study investigates how threat-induced bradycardia influences approach-avoidance decisions, finding that it interacts with subjective value and action-context to affect choice behavior.

This study investigates how hippocampal spatial representations influence fear generalization and contextualization in humans using fMRI and virtual reality.

This study shows that eye-movement interventions reduce fear recovery by temporarily deactivating the amygdala during extinction learning, similar to working memory tasks.
