AANS Online Scientific Session: Stereotactic & Functional-Beta-Band Modulation in the Human Amygdala during a Conflict Response Task

Beta-Band Modulation in the Human Amygdala during a Conflict Response Task

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Angad Gogia, a medical student at Keck School of Medicine of USC, discusses his study on beta-band modulation in the human amygdala during non-emotional conflict processing. The study was conducted on five phase 2 epilepsy patients who had intracranial depth electrodes implanted. Using a modified Stroop task, the researchers recorded high temporal and spatial resolution local field potential data from the amygdala. Analysis of the data revealed significant beta-band power increase during the incongruent condition, suggesting that the beta band plays a role in processing non-emotional conflict in the amygdala. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the amygdala's involvement in conflict processing.
