Happy New Year from Southern St. Joseph County! Pictured here is downtown North Liberty during the holidays in the 1950s. As a resolution, of sorts, I'm going to attempt to update this page more often in 2017. This image, provide by Allen Balsley, is featured in the 2015 book on Southern St. Joseph County, published by Arcadia and the History Press.
Amygdala - Function. 1  The amygdala sends projections to the hypothalamus, the dorsomedial thalamus, the thalamic reticular nucleus, the nuclei of the trigeminal nerve and the facial nerve, the ventral tegmental area, the locus coeruleus, and the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus. [5]
The amygdala is an important structure located in the anterior temporal lobe within the uncus. The amygdala makes reciprocal connections with many brain regions (figure 32) including the thalamus, hypothalamus, septal nuclei, orbital frontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and brain stem.lfactory signals are relayed to several other brain regions after their initial termination in the olfactory cortex. The olfactory cortex affects the frontal lobe through connections with the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus.
