When scientists had their subjects play a game in which they won money by deceiving their partner, they noticed the negative signals from the amygdala began to decrease.

当科学家们让实验对象玩一个通过欺骗搭档来赢钱的游戏时，他们注意到来自杏仁核的负面信号开始减少。

Using this information, the amygdala appraised a situation—I think this charging dog wants to bite me—and triggers a response by radiating nerve signals throughout the body.

利用这些信息，扁桃体对情景进行了评估，认为这只狗想要冲过来咬我，所以通过向全身发出神经信号来触发反应。

It keeps the amygdala in check... usually.

通常它能使杏仁核受到抑制。

House then analyzed its brains for evidence of excitation in the amygdala.

随后，House分析了它们的大脑，以找到扁桃核发生兴奋的证据。

For those that don't know, the amygdala is the emotional center of the brain.

Well, a new study in the journal Cell says you can thank your amygdala for that.

如果是这样，《细胞》杂志上的一项新研究提醒你，你得为此感谢自己的杏仁体。

"Toxoplasma is altering these circuits in the amygdala, muddling fear and attraction," House said.

“弓形虫改变了扁桃核内的神经回路，将警戒和诱惑混淆了。”House说。

Thus, changing levels of galanin in the amygdala will have an effect on an individual's emotional state.

因此，改变杏仁体中甘丙肽的水平将会影响人的情绪状态。

However, when the proteins produced by the amygdala were blocked the mice did not exhibit the same trait.

然而，当扁桃体产生的蛋白质受到阻碍，老鼠也表现出不同的性格特征。

And they saw decreased density in the amygdala-which is responsible for our anxiety and stress responses.

同时扁桃体——负责焦虑和压力反映——的密度降低。

The amygdala damage did not appear to affect risk-aversion-a similar behavior with an important difference.

大脑杏仁核受损似乎并不影响“规避风险”，这是一个与“规避损失”类似但有很大不同的行为。

Women's brains also showed decreased activity in the amygdala and hippocampus, which deal with fear and anxiety.

女人的大脑还表现为，杏仁体和海马体活动性降低。 二者与恐惧和焦虑有关。

The recent research found that the parasite infects the amygdala, a region associated with emotional states.

最近的研究发现这种寄生虫感染了大脑中的扁桃核区域，这一区域与情绪状态有关。

It also suggests that the basolateral amygdala drives the ability of new neurons to be part of an emotional memory.

研究也表明了基底外侧杏仁核对新生神经元形成情感性记忆的驱动作用。

A structure next to the hippocampus called the amygdala is known to play a role in stamping this indelible mark.

海马区旁边有一个被称为‘杏仁核’的结构体，已知在烙下不可磨灭印记中起到一定作用。

Perhaps the explanation is differences in the level of brain development when the amygdala damage occurred, she suggested.

她也表示，对同类实验结果的极大差异的解释可能为，当杏仁核损伤发生时，不同人大脑的发育水平并不尽相同。

I would argue that the rapid emotional responses caused by the amygdala are actually the generated by our unconscious mind.

我想争辩的是，由杏仁核引起的快速的情绪反应，事实上是由潜意识产生的。

But the amygdala and the periaqueductal gray are ancient parts of the brain, dating back hundreds of millions of years.

不过，小脑扁桃体和中脑导水管周围灰质是大脑的两个古老原始的区域，可以追溯到亿万年前。

The amygdala, and its super fast reactionary responses is undoubtedly a major reason why we humans survived and evolved.

毫无疑问，杏仁核和它的超快的反应能力是我们人类存活和进化的主要原因。

However, when they destroyed the basolateral amygdala, new neurons were no longer activated in response to the fearful memory.

但是当研究者破坏大鼠的杏仁核的基底外侧区域后，恐惧场景就不再能够激活新生神经元了。

But a study suggests that the larger the amygdala, the wider and more complex is its owner's network of friends and colleagues.

但是一项研究显示，一个人的杏仁核越大，他的朋友圈和同事圈就越大越复杂。
