    • Trust-building Hormone Short-circuits Fear In Humans

           
          A brain chemical recently found to boost trust appears to work by reducing activity and weakening connections in fear-processing circuitry, a brain imaging study at the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has discovered.
    • Scans of the hormone oxytocin's effect on human brain function reveal that it quells the brain's fear hub, the amygdala, and its brainstem relay stations in response to fearful stimuli. The work at NIMH and a collaborating site in Germany suggests new approaches to treating diseases thought to involve amygdala dysfunction and social fear, such as social phobia, autism, and possibly schizophrenia, report Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg, M.D., Ph.D., NIMH Genes Cognition and Psychosis Program, and colleagues, in the December 7, 2005 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

    • L'amygdale joue principalement le rôle de détecteur de danger mais n'est pas limitée aux émotions négatives.
    • Elle semble aussi jouer le rôle de mise en éveil rapide du système cognitif. Ce système d'alerte peut aussi fonctionner de manière automatique, inconsciente. Si on présente très brièvement un visage effrayé, de façon subliminale, sans que le sujet ait le temps d'en prendre conscience, on observe pourtant une activation de son amygdale. Le niveau d'attention entrave le traitement informationnel de l'amygdale : la méta-analyse de Costafreda[15] a montré qu'un traitement passif était associé avec une plus grande probabilité d'activation de l'amygdale qu'une instruction d'action sollicitant l'attention.
