Amygdala

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article was found through the C-Class articles link. Under C-Class Anatomy, there was a link to the Talk: Amygdala. Research has shown that the amygdala is involved in the processing of memories, emotions and decision making. Current research involving the amygdala is helping to define the amygdala's role in these three areas. My initial impression of this article is that some clarity would be beneficial but this is a topic where there are many different contributing factors from research.

The lead section does not include a brief description of the Neurophysiological Correlates of Amygdala Activity section. The lead section is overly concise. The content is relevant to the topic however, some of the information present is cited from a single specific study. In the Neurophysiological Correlates of Amygdala Activity section, "Sexual Orientation" and "Political Orientation" sections cite a very limited number of studies for areas that can be controversial. The "Connections" section should follow the "Structure" section or be included within it. "Function" should immediately follow structure. "Development and sex distinction" are not included in the lead section.
