Very informative article - one comment it would be nice to have an explanation of what an amygdala is.

The amygdala is an almond shaped mass of nuclei located deep within the temporal lobes of the brain, medial to the hypothalamus and adjacent to the hippocampus.

Function:

* Arousal
* Controls Autonomic Responses Associated with Fear
* Emotional Responses
* Hormonal Secretions
