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 also responsible for determining what memories are stored and where the memories are stored in the brain. It is thought that this determination is based on how huge an emotional response an event invokes.t is a limbic system structure that is involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. The amygdala is involved in the processing of emotions such as fear, anger, and pleasure.
