It is best known for its role in the processing of fear, although as we’ll see, this is an oversimplified perspective on amygdala function. Our modern understanding of amygdala function can be traced back to the 1930s, when Heinrich Kluver and Paul Bucy removed the amygdalae of rhesus ...
Amygdalameans ‘Almond’ in Greek and is a good example of how anatomists described things before there was knowledge of the function of the area. Theamygdalais involved with emotions, and plays a role in classical conditioning (Janak & Tye, 2015) as well as modulatingdeclarative memory(Milner...

Functional neuroimaging has evolved into an indispensable tool for noninvasively investigating brain function. A recent development of such methodology is the creation of connectivity models for brain regions and related networks, efforts that have been inhibited by notable limitations. We present a new ...
The direct pathway is thought to function in two ways: first as a quick route for simple stimulus features to evoke defensive emotional responses; and second as a method of priming the amygdala to set up appropriate emotional responses to incoming stimuli that are more highly processed by the ...
Excerpt from Fig. 5 from Ison, Quiroga, & Fried (2015). “Average normalized neural activity (black squares) and behavioral responses (green circles) to the non-preferred stimulus as a function of trial number. Data were aligned to the learning time (relative trial number 0)”, i.e. when...
