Title: Understanding Emotions: The Amygdala’s Origins and Functions
Abstract: The cerebral cortex’s anterior cingulate, insula, ventromedial prefrontal, and subcortical regions like the amygdala, ventral striatum, putamen, caudate nucleus, and ventral tegmental area all have specialized neuronal populations that are activated by emotions. Feelings are conscious, emotional experiences of these activations that help neuronal networks mediating thoughts, language, and behavior. As a result, they improve our capacity to anticipate, pick up on, and reevaluate environmental stimuli and situations based on prior experiences. As the primary subcortical emotional brain structure that continuously assesses and integrates a variety of sensory information from the environment and assigns them the proper values of emotional dimensions, such as valence, intensity, and approachability, contemporary theories of emotion converge around the critical role of the amygdala. Through implicit associative learning, modifications in short- and long-term synaptic plasticity, and activation of the fight-or-flight response via efferent projections from its central nucleus to cortical and subcortical structures, the amygdala contributes to the regulation of autonomic and endocrine functions, decision-making, and adaptations of instinctive and motivational behaviors to changes in the environment.
