A spatially resolved transcriptomic atlas of the primate amygdala (human, macaque, and baboon) now out in Science Advances (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). The amygdala contains 32 types of neurons with many neuron types specific to particular subdivisions.

Lots of updates from the preprint!

Specialized cell types and links to psychiatric disorders are revealed by genetic mapping of primate amygdala neurons.

Stress intensifies unlearned fear, but not learned fear, by acting on a specific brain region.
Behavioral Neuroscience: The consequences of stress on the brain and fear
A region of the brain called the paraventricular thalamus mediates the impact of stress on unlearned fear responses, but is not involved in learned fear behavior.
