Academic Press Handbook of Amygdala Structure and Function

The Handbook of Amygdala Structure and Function (Volume 26) provides an updated overview of the functional neuroanatomy of amygdala nuclei. Part of the Handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience series, this volume focuses on the connections between the basolateral, central, and medial amygdala. It explores how these nuclei integrate into larger networks and circuits, including the prefrontal cortex, bed nucleus, and nucleus accumbens. This text builds upon the foundations of functional neural circuits and cellular electrophysiology. These elements are necessary for understanding the homeostatic control of amygdala function. The volume also includes a dedicated section regarding the anatomical organization of the thalamus. This resource is designed for medical and healthcare practitioners interested in neurology and clinical neurophysiology, offering a deep look at the neural structures governing behavior and biological regulation.
