The amygdala is considered a key center in managing emotional information and its dysfunction is at the base of disorders ranging through anxiety, depression, PTSD and autism. However, the amygdala seems heterogeneous both structurally (with pallial and supallial components) and functionally. Thus, ...
Handbook of Amygdala Structure and Function Introduction The amygdala is a nuclear complex found in the cerebral hemispheres of all vertebrates. It is located in the temporal lobe of primates, and in the caudoventral forebrain of rodents and other mammals that do not have a well-developed temporal...

(besides other areas), from the basolateral amygdala, and projects in turn to hypothalamic and brainstem target areas that mediate many of the autonomic and behavioral responses to aversive or threatening stimuli. It is a structure that has different morphology in male comparing to female brain, ...
Among these, neuropeptide Y (NPY) has emerged as an important anxiolytic and fear-reducing neuromodulator. Here, we characterized the expression, connectivity and electrophysiological function of NPY and Y2 receptors within the CEA. We identified several NPY-expressing neuronal populations, including ...
