    The Amygdala and Emotional Processing

    • The amygdala is involved in fear learning and emotional valence, while the hippocampus is associated with memory.

    • The amygdala has two processing routes: a fast route for automatic reactions and a slow route for learning emotional valence of novel stimuli.
    • The dorsal striatum is connected to the dLPFC and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and is involved in reward valuation in the context of action.
    • The ventral striatum is connected to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus and is responsible for reward valuation of objects and events.
