Many data now indicate that the amygdala, along with its many efferent connections, is critically involved in emotion. Although the amygdala complex is generally defined by several distinct groups of cells, including the lateral, basal, accessory basal central, medial, and cortical nuclei, new data indicate that it is more useful to think of the amygdala as the basolateral amygdala (Bla) and to...

Functional connections (FC) between the amygdala and cortical and subcortical regions underlie a range of affective and cognitive processes. Despite the central role amygdala networks have in these functions, the normative developmental emergence of FC between the amygdala and the rest of the brain is still largely undefined. This study employed amygdala subregion maps and resting-state functio...
