*520  $aThe amygdala integrates emotionally relevant stimuli. Here, the aversive value of stimuli and memories is extracted and transduced into a behavioral response. This rapid processing leads to a coordinated activation of autonomic, endocrine, behavioral and emotional functions that together comprise the fear reaction. Anxiety is a psychopathological state in which subjective feelings of fear and a coordinated fear response is present in the absence of a relevant external threat. An activation of the amygdala thus participates in a state of negative affect which may be either physiological (fear) or pathological (anxiety, depression). In this capacity, the amygdala is involved in negative reinforcement, and in the complex motivational mechanisms underlying alcohol dependence. (From the abstract)
