Describe what led Aggleton and Mishkin to describe the amygdale in this way, drawing on early lesion studies in primates and monkeys. It would then describe what seems to be the amygdala's disproportionate role in fear recognition, drawing on studies of classical conditioning in RODENTS, BRAIN injury in HUMANS and neuroimaging. The essay should note whether both sides of the amygdale perform different functions. A discussion of the amygdala's role in other emotions, TOGETHER with an evaluation of why the amygdale is involved in the behaviours it is, should be included.
