The amygdala is a core structure in the anterior medial temporal lobe, with an important role in several brain functions involving memory, emotion, perception, social cognition, and even awareness. As a key brain structure for saliency detection, it triggers and controls widespread modulatory signals onto multiple areas of the brain, with a great impact on numerous aspects of adaptive behavior. Here we discuss the neural mechanisms underlying these functions, as established by animal and human research, including insights provided in both healthy and pathological conditions.
杏仁核是颞叶前内侧的一个核心结构，在涉及记忆、情感、感知、社会认知乃至意识的多种脑功能中发挥着重要作用。作为显著性检测的关键脑结构，它触发并控制着广泛的调节信号至大脑的多个区域，对适应性行为的诸多方面产生重大影响。在此，我们将探讨动物和人类研究确立的这些功能背后的神经机制，包括健康和病理状况下所提供的见解。
