Located
in the middle of the brain, this almond shaped complex
of related nuclei is a critical processor area for
the senses. Connected to the hippocampus, it plays
a role in emotionally laden memories. It contains
a huge number of opiate receptor sites implicated
in rage, fear and sexual feelings. It is part of
the limbic system.
