The amygdala – responsible for memories of reward as well as punishment?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (2):213-214 (2000)
| Abstract | Rolls's proposal that the amygdala is critical for the association of visual objects with reward is not consistent with recent ablation evidence. Stimulus-reward association learning is more likely to depend on basal forebrain efferents to the inferior temporal cortex, some of which pass through the amygdala. It is more likely that the amygdala is involved in rapid modulation of stimulus reward value. | |||||||||
