The [[amygdalae]] are two small, round structures located [[anterior]] to the [[hippocampus|hippocampi]] near the [[temporal lobe|temporal]] poles. The amygdalae are involved in detecting and learning what parts of our surroundings are important and have emotional significance. They are critical for the production of emotion, and may be particularly so for negative emotions, especially [[fear]]. |
