Abstract:
A major goal of the work funded by the Air Force has been to evaluate the role of the amygdala in both conditioned and unconditioned fear and anxiety. This work showed that the central nucleus of the amygdala, and its direct projection to a particular part of the acoustic startle pathway, were critically involved in the performance or expression of fear-potentiated startle.
