Location The amygdala is one of the two almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep within thetemporal lobes, medial to the hypothalamus and adjacent to thehippocampusand inferior (temporal) horn of thelateral ventricle. Amygdaloid body Corpus amygdaloideum ...
Amygdala Definition and Location Theamygdalais an almond-shaped part of nerve tissue located in the brain'stemporal lobes. Normally, people have 2 amygdalae, with one on each side of the brain. It is part of the limbic system, which is involved in managing emotions, survival instincts, and...
What is the amygdala? Learn about the amygdala, its function, its location, its role in emotion and behavior, and how it interacts with other brain...
in vivo responses and social behavior relevance. MPN-projecting PAEsr1+cells are activated during mating and are necessary and sufficient for male sexual behaviors, while VMHvl-projecting PAEsr1+cells are excited during intermale aggression and promote attacks. These findings place the PA as a key ...
The link between amygdala volume and aggression and violence may be an indirect one, with one of the amygdala's roles being physiological responses to emotional cues such as fear (DeLisi et al., 2009). As such, individuals with lower amygdala volume may not experience as much fear reactivity...
Virgin female laboratory mice readily express pup care when co-housed with dams and pups. However, pup-sensitized virgins fail to express intruder-directed aggression on a single session of testing. To study whether repeated testing would affect the onse
The amygdala has long been associated with primal and short-term drivers like fear and aggression, but also, more distantly, with behaviour that is linked to reward. Two male rhesus monkeys were put through an experiment in which they were trained to choose between accepting an immediate fruit ...
The amygdala includes six main nuclei: the central, cortical, medial, accessory, basal and lateral nuclei. They can be divided into three groups depending on their location: the deep or basolateral, the superficial or cortical-like group and the centro-medial group [4]. The basolateral nuclei ...
Importantly, while the metabolic gating of female reproduction is intuitively explained by the considerable metabolic demands of pregnancy and lactation, it must be stressed that key aspects of reproductive behaviors, affecting prominently males, such as aggression, mating, territoriality, and dominance, ...
The MeA has been subdivided into distinct functional regions along the anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes, with the medial amygdala posterodorsal (MeApd) primarily involved in conspecific social behaviors such as mating and aggression (Choi et al., 2005, Hong et al., 2014). Electrical ...
