The meaning of AMYGDALA is the one of the four basal ganglia in each cerebral hemisphere that is part of the limbic system and consists of an almond-shaped mass of gray matter in the anterior extremity of the temporal lobe —called also amygdaloid nucleu
The amygdala is a medial temporal lobe structure that occupies barely 0.3% of the volume of the human brain (~ 2 cm3) (Figure 3.5.1). Despite its size, it has been associated with more neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders than perhaps any other brain region. This may be because the...
The amygdala (Latin, almond) is a subcortical cluster of brain nuclei located in the temporal lobe of the cerebral hemispheres. It is involved in a wide range of functions, including emotion, biologically based behaviors, attention, memory and learning. It exhibits pathological and pathophysiological...
In this study we compared the results of qualitative visual analysis of MRI with volumetric studies of the amygdala (AM) and hippocampal formation (HF) in a group of 31 patients. Twenty-six patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and six with non-TLE had MRI studies using a 1.5 T Gyro...
The amygdala is a group of nuclei located within the anterior medial portion of the brain’s temporal lobe. Part of the limbic system, the amygdala is involved in processing of emotions, particularly fear, although its constituent nuclei – the basolateral nucleus, the central nucleus, the latera...
Each volume comprised 30 2.5 mm (.25 gap) axial oblique slices (titled 15° anterior higher than posterior relative to the intercommissural plane) which provided complete anterior-posterior coverage and inferior-superior coverage from the bottom of the temporal lobe to the top of the most dorsal...
The amygdala complex substantially contributes to the generation and propagation of focal seizures in patients suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). A cellular substrate for increased excitability in the human amygdala, however, remains to be identified. Here, we analyzed the three-dimensional mo...
social intelligence was a function of three regions: the amygdala, the orbito-frontal cortex (OFC), and the superior temporal sulcus and gyrus (STG). Together, she called these the “social brain”. 1. The amygdala It lies beneath the uncus of the temporal lobe at the anterior end of the...
What is the amygdala and what does it do? The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped cluster of neurons located deep in the temporal lobe. It is part of the limbic system and plays a significant role in emotional memory, fear, and aggression. What happens if the amygdala is damaged? Damage...
