Urbach-Wiethe disease may cause calcifications on it, leading suffers to be unable to identify specific facial expressions.
A type of conditioning associated with this structure was computationally modeled by Krasne et. al and explained by Joseph Ledoux's "high road/low road" mapping, which has been cited by Gavin de Becker. Unique responses to certain parts of the Rorschach test may be a result of increased size of this structure. Urbach-Wiethe disease may cause calcifications on it, leading suffers to be unable to identify specific facial expressions. It also controls (*) behavioral responses to alcohol, and damage to it may be a symptom of binge drinking. As a member of the limbic system with the hippocampus, it plays a role in memory consolidation via dopamine-related long-term potentiation. The recognition of fear and fear conditioning are some of the main functions of, for 10 points, what brain structure in the medial temporal lobe whose name comes from the Latin for "almond?"
