High-resolution imaging of the human amygdala : role of basolateral and centromedial complexes in reward processing and associative learning .

Abstract

The amygdala is an inherently heterogeneous aggregation of nuclei. Although the animal literature has revealed some segregation of function within these nuclei, it has not been possible to investigate the role of human amygdalar subregions to date due to limitations in the spatial resolution of fMRI.
