Dear colleagues, *A question someone may be able to help me out with if you will, please, and thanks. [The amygdala is one of two almond-shaped clusters of nuclei located deep and medially within the temporal lobes of the brain's cerebrum in complex vertebrates, including humans. Shown to perform a primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional responses, the amygdala are considered part of the limbic system. The term "amygdala" was first introduced by Karl Friedrich Burdach in 1822. They are understood to be the part of the brain that drives the so-called 'fight or flight' response to threats and therefore associated with anxiety disorders.] So there are 2 amygdala, one on the left & one on the right. (BILATERAL) Responsible for 2 conflicting traits, fight or flight. (FUNCTIONAL) *When considered individually, is each amygdala responsible for both fight AND flight or is the left amygdala responsible for 'flight' whilst the right amygdala is responsible for 'fight' (possibly visa versa, though somehow I doubt it!)? **Surely it is NOT possible to 'hunt with the hound' (fight) whilst 'running with the fox' (fly) in any pro-rated combination, whatsoever! It 'has to be' one or the other! Again, thank you for any assistance, and best regards, Emmet McManus.
