The amygdala is the subortical gray matter found rostral to the hippocampus in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. Psychologists, neurologists, and other medical researchers share the current understanding about its structure and function in humans, and discuss the animal models that have offered a theoretical framework for understanding its role in human behavior. Their topics include the neuro-anatomy of the primate amygdala; measuring fear inhibition in rats, monkeys, and humans with or without post-traumatic stress; a developmental perspective on human amygdala function; memory; the control of fear; human amygdala responses to facial expressions of emotion; social function; schizophrenia; normal aging and Alzheimer's disease; and the genetic basis of anygdala reactivity.
