The Amygdala
This title analyses functions of the amygdala, the brain structure that governs the ways in which our emotions affect our actions and our memories, and how we interact socially. It is also thought that malfunctions of the amygdala contribute to a number of disorders affecting personality, for example Alzheimer's disease, autism and schizophrenia.
