The paper analyzes fMRI data to investigate the role of the extended amygdala in threat processing, finding no strict functional segregation between the central nucleus and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.

The paper identifies heightened subcortical reactivity to uncertain-threat as a predictor of future internalizing symptoms in individuals with low stress exposure.

This paper demonstrates that certain and uncertain threat anticipation recruit a shared neural circuit with distinct activation dynamics in humans.

This study investigates how social anxiety in adolescents affects neural responses to anticipated social threat, finding reduced discrimination in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.

The paper investigates the neural basis of neuroticism/negative emotionality by showing its association with heightened BST activation during uncertain threat anticipation, not the amygdala.

The paper links greater activation in a cingulo-opercular circuit during an anxiety-eliciting task with reduced daily stressor-related distress in individuals.
