(typepad.com)
  • The amygdala may very well do this by helping the brain identify salient points of new inputs (whether they have red or green flags indicating either danger or reward) and to prioritize them by the use of the "magnitude dial" of the amygdale (important enough to pay close attention, or not so important or threatening and therefore, something to ignore).
