The contribution of the amygdala to normal and abnormal emotional states
Abstract
Lesion studies in monkeys have provided some of the most compelling evidence for the involvement of the amygdala in emotional and social behaviour. In spite of this it has proved surprisingly difficult to uncover the precise nature of the role of the amygdala. A number of recent studies now indicate that the amygdala is involved in a specific class of stimulus-reward associations and this discovery, combined with important anatomical findings, has made it possible to gain a much more detailed appreciation of the contribution of the amygdala to emotion in non-human primates. In parallel with this, it appears increasingly likely that amygdala dysfunction contributes to the emotional changes that accompany certain neurological disorders, including dementia and schizophrenia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
