Amygdala, artwork. Close-up of a semi-transparent artwork of a human brain, showing the amygdala (bulbous structures at lower centre). This structure, found deep inside the brain, is part of the brain's limbic system. Related structures are seen at far right, along with the connections between them. The flashes of light symbolise brain activity. The amygdala plays a role in emotional reactions and the memory of those reactions.
