Effects of Vasopressin on MPFC-Amygdala Circuitry during Fearful Face Processing in Humans

Given the role of the mPFC-amygdala circuitry in emotion processing and given the expression patterns of vasopressin receptors, this circuitry is a likely candidate for the neural basis of the effects of vasopressin on social behavior and emotion; however no imaging data exist regarding the effect o...

Summary:Given the role of the mPFC-amygdala circuitry in emotion processing and given the expression patterns of vasopressin receptors, this circuitry is a likely candidate for the neural basis of the effects of vasopressin on social behavior and emotion; however no imaging data exist regarding the effect of vasopressin on human brain function.
