Amygdala who cares

It seems to me that it is less the case that no one cares about the 
amygdala than that it pales in comparison to the cottage industry which 
is the hippocampus.  Because the hippocampus has an obvious and 
intriguing anatomy and, significantly, is easy to identify and record 
from electrophysiologically, it has gained a great deal of attention.  I 
suspect that most people believe the amygdala to be important and 
significant for the same reasons that other cortical and quasicortical 
structures are important, but it's just a little harder to look at it.  
It is worth the effort, though....
