Function of the Amygdala. Such spectacular demonstrations may be misleading.

Electrical stimulation of the amygdala in humans usually creates fear or anxiety, not aggressive behavior. When the amygdala is removed from laboratory animals, they show no fear.
Hyoscyamine is used to treat a variety of stomach/intestinal problems such as cramps and irritable bowel syndrome.

Medical uses. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved clonidine for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), alone or with stimulants in 2010, for pediatric patients aged 6â17 years. It was later approved for adults. In Australia, clonidine is an accepted but not approved use for ADHD by the TGA. Clonidine along with methylphenidate has been studied for treatment of ADHD. According to the clinical trials submitted to FDA its effectiveness is comparable to stimulants commonly used for ADHD.
