Intercalated cells of the amygdala mPFC) in both primates and rodents, which may explain cortical control over emotional regulation processes such as extinction. Intercalated cells of the amygdala The intercalated (ITC) cells of the amygdala are a group of GABAergic neurons situated between the basolateral and central nuclei of the amygdala that are important for inhibitory control over the amygdala. ITC cells are thought to play a role as the 'off switch' for the amygdala, inhibiting the amygdala's central nucleus output neurons and its basolateral nucleus neurons. Some researchers speculate that ITC cells, via their extensive local inhibition within the amygdala, could serve as a
Imagined speech intent of providing a foundation for synthetic telepathy. According to DARPA, the project “will allow user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the use of vocalized speech through neural signals analysis. The brain generates word-specific signals prior to sending electrical impulses to the vocal cords. These imagined speech signals would be analyzed and translated into distinct words allowing covert person-to-person communication.” DARPA's program outline has three major goals: The process for analyzing subjects' "silent speech" is composed of recording subjects’ brain waves, and then using a computer to process the data and determine the content of the subjects' "covert speech".
