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]
Events that warn us of imminent danger are therefore very important stimuli for the amygdala, but so are events that signal the presence of food, sexual partners, rivals, children in distress, and so on. That is why the amygdala has so many connections with several other structures in the brain.s with most other brain structures, you actually have two amygdalae (shown in red in the drawing here). Each amygdala is located close to the hippocampus, in the frontal portion of the temporal lobe. Your amygdalae are essential to your ability to feel certain emotions and to perceive them in other people.
