A

fusiform gyrus to the amygdala

7
Q

capgras syndrome

A

subject thinks close relatives are imposters due to lack of emotion evoked by visually seeing them (occurs only when visualizing them)

8
Q

ventralmedial frontal area

A

emotions and its underlying neural machinery participate in decision making within the social domain

anterior commissure

A

bidirectional communication between anterior portions of the temporal lobe (amygdala)
