Comparative aspects of amygdala connectivity
Abstract
A bstract : The connections of the amygdala in rats, cats, and monkeys can be divided into three systems: (1) A largely forebrn system provides sensory information to the amygdala from the olfactory cortex, ascending taste/visceral pathways, posterior thalamus and sensory association cortex. Most of these connections are reciprocal and also support amygdaloid modulation of sensory processing. (2) A set of projections extends from the amygdala to the hypothalamus and brain stem, which appears to modulate visceral function in relation to emotional stimuli. (3) A forebrain circuit involves the amygdala with the ventromedial frontal, rostral insular, and rostral temporal cortical areas, the medial thalamus and ventromedial basal ganglia, and seems to be directly involved in emotional behavior and mood. All of these systems are present in all mammals studied; the major differences lie in the greater elaboration of the cerebral cortex in primates.

The superficial amygdala is involved in olfactory and affective processing.
“Finally, the SFA is relevant for olfactory (Price, 2003, Heimer and Van Hoesen, 2006) and affective processes (Bzdok et al., 2013a).”
From Developmental sex differences in resting state functional connectivity of amygdala sub-regions (2015) · cites this paper as Price, 2003
The amygdala is composed of basolateral, centromedial, and superficial nuclei, which have distinct functional connections to the cortex and support different brain functions.
“The amygdala can be subdivided into basolateral (BLA), centromedial (CMA) and superficial (SFA) nuclei, each with distinct functional connections to the cortex supporting different brain functions.”

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.
