This paper presents a comprehensive neuroanatomical and radiological analysis of the human amygdala, detailing its nuclei, major afferent and efferent fiber systems, and spatial relationships using white matter fiber dissection and diffusion tensor tractography. The authors synthesize structural descriptions with functional roles in emotion, memory, olfaction, and seizure propagation, emphasizing clinical relevance for neuroclinicians.
The study maps key pathways—the ansa peduncularis, ventral and dorsal amygdalofugal routes, stria terminalis, medial forebrain bundle, olfactory striae, and stria medullaris thalami—correlating anatomy with neurosurgical applications such as deep brain stimulation and lesion resection. Anatomical findings are supported by illustrative dissections, tractography, and a clinical cavernoma case demonstrating surgical implications.
