Anatomy and unction of amygdala

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]in today's video I am going to explain basic anatomy and function of Amiga this is brain model this brain model doesn't have amigdala so I prepared you guys with a garlic piece of garlic you know amigdala means almond but I couldn't find almond in my kitchen so this is substitution garc am shouldn't be that big but this is good visualization Mig is on the Deep part of brain that that has a strong relationship with this tissue this dark green color represents hippoc compus okay hippoc compus right here amigara is kind of sitting in front of hippoc compus like this so amigara and hippoc compus has cross relationship then what is function of amig that is basically fear and that direct readings to a survival mechanis think about it you don't want get get Hur you don't want to get in trouble you don't want to be hot right that is all related to amra fear and uh pain stress anxiety these kind of a negative sensation negative experience then amida is activated too much that may trigger like anxiety and stress and many things so amida is very important for survival mechanism and because of a functional amig our memory our kind of negative emotion negative experience sticks on the brain long time and strongly think about it when you got injury when you got heartbroken experience and any kind of a negative experience that sticks onto your head long time right rather than positive experience you may not remember that you got a 100 score on the high school mathematic class you may but not strong as negative experience right because negative experience directly links to survival mechanism that is why negative thing sticks on the head stronger than positive experience does it make sense so this is basic function of amig basically fear stress anxiety depression this kind of thing okay now I want to explain kind of a basic connection to other part of brain tissue first first hippocampus very important they are very close each other amra and hippocampus working together it's like a creating memory okay other places like this part this is singulate gyus particularly on anterior part that is also related to kind of autonomic and fear and stress reaction next thing I feel interesting is this is part of brain stem these two areas these two places are superior CCS then this is inferior cicular function of superior ccul is related to Vision inferior curriculars related to a hearing system so how come a Meer like uh stress fear anxiety system linked to vision and auditory system think about it when you hear something inferior ccul is activated and when you hear and T and you are freaked out maybe amra is involved Superior curricul Vision when you see something and when you are freaked out then a migd is involved you see this relationship you just hear something you don't feel any fear maybe am migd is not involved when you see something we you don't feel any fear Amiga is not involved but as soon as something fear something stress is involved a MIG and these places are connected I think this is quite interesting thing then one more thing I think interesting is this is quote from one article okay A M involved with irritability pain stress anxiety depression especially when in the presence of inflammation so that means maybe inflammation process is happening am gets more reaction then does this inflammation mean inflammation in the Mig I don't know inflammation in brain tissue I don't know inflammation in internal organs I don't know but thing is when inflammation is involved maybe amig get more activated okay I'm still learning about brain tissue and brain physiology so today's information may not be 100% concrete may not be 100% accurate so if you are brain neurophysiology professional and I said something off topic please leave me a comment okay in today's video I explain basic anatomy and function of amigdala if you liked today's video please hit the like button comment and subscribe see you next video
