This study uses direct electrical stimulation of the human amygdala to show it enhances object memory but not scene memory, suggesting specificity in memory prioritization.

This study examines how theta burst stimulation of the basolateral amygdala modulates single-neuron activity in humans during a memory task, finding that ~30% of neurons show heterogeneous responses.

This study uses computational modeling and multimodal neuroscience to show how perceptual ambiguity affects evidence accumulation in social-affective decisions, revealing a corticolimbic network involved in this process.
