What is Handbook of Amygdala Structure and Function Volume 26 about?

## THE AMYGDALA COMPLEX Discovery and seminal studies on the amygdala The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure located deep within the temporal lobe, first identified by Karl Friedrich Burdach at the beginning of the 20th century (Burdach, 1819). More than a 100 years later, a wave of interest on the amygdala complex was initiated in 1937 after the publication of a study of Heinrich Kl€ uver investigating the brain substrate underlying the effect of the psychedelic alkaloid mescaline (Kl€ uver & Bucy, 1937). Together with his neurosurgeon colleague, Paul Bucy, they performed bilateral removal of the temporal lobes of rhesus monkeys and described the behavioral alterations induced by the bilateral ablation (Bucy & Kl€ uver, 1955;Kl€ uver & Bucy, 1937); these induced a wide range of behavioral perturbations including hyperorality, hypersexuality, visual agnosia, and docility. Strikingly, the monkeys exhibited a lack of fear in the presence of stimuli innately threatening to healthy monkeys, for example, an object with a similar shape as a snake. Other lesion studies in monkeys confirmed the involvement of the amygdala not only in fear but also in a diverse range of other emotions,
