Although certain neurophysiological functions of the amygdala complex in learning seem well established, the purpose of this review is to propose that an additional conceptualization of amygdala function is now needed. The research we review provides evidence that a subsystem within the amygdala provides a coordinated regulation of attentional processes. An important aspect of this additional neuropsychology of the amygdala is that it may aid in understanding the importance of connections between the amygdala and other neural systems in information processing.
尽管杏仁核复合体在学习中的某些神经生理功能似乎已得到充分证实，但本综述的目的是提出，现在需要对杏仁核功能进行额外的概念化。我们所综述的研究提供了证据，表明杏仁核内的一个子系统对注意力过程进行协调调节。杏仁核这种额外神经心理学的一个重要方面是，它可能有助于理解杏仁核与其他神经系统之间的连接在信息处理中的重要性。
