The impact of past childhood adversity and recent life events on neural responses during fear conditioning.

Published in: Journal of neuroimaging : official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging (2023)

Many studies have shown increased amygdala activity after stressful life events. In addition, the anterior insula is activated during acute stress. The present study points to stressor-induced increased salience processing during fear conditioning. We suggest that this could be a potential mechanism for resilience versus mental illness.
