人类和动物的研究结果表明，杏仁核有助于指导行为，并处理对生物体生存特别重要的刺激和情况的知识。杏仁核对许多认知过程做出了重要贡献，包括记忆，注意力和决策。对人类的损伤和功能成像研究支持杏仁核在识别面部表情中的情绪，特别是恐惧中的作用。虽然从动物研究中已经知道杏仁核在获得非陈述性形式的记忆（如条件反应）中很重要，但对人类的研究表明，杏仁核也调节有关情感材料的陈述性知识的编码。未来的研究将确定杏仁核在有意识的情绪体验中的作用，这是一个刚刚开始探索的话题。高分辨率功能成像和人类杏仁核内单个神经元的电生理记录正在取得进一步的进展。
Findings from humans and animals suggest that the amygdala helps to guide behaviors and to process knowledge about stimuli and situations that are of special importance to the survival of an organism. The amygdala makes critical contributions to many cognitive processes, including memory, attention, and decision-making. Lesion and functional imaging studies in humans support a role for the amygdala in recognizing emotions in facial expressions, especially fear. Although it has been known from animal studies that the amygdala is important in the acquisition of nondeclarative forms of memory, such as conditioned responses, studies in humans show that the amygdala also modulates encoding of declarative knowledge about emotional material. Future studies will determine the amygdala's role in the conscious experience of emotion, a topic that is just beginning to be explored. Further advances are being made by high-resolution functional imaging, and by electrophysiological recordings from single neurons within the human amygdala.
