Modulation of spatial attention by fear-conditioned stimuli: an event-related fMRI study.

Stimuli that signal threat can capture subjects attention, leading to more efficient detection of, and faster responses to, events occurring in that part of the environment. In the present study we explored the behavioural and anatomical correlates of ...
