Amygdala activity for the modulation of goal-directed behavior in emotional contexts.

Amygdala neurons tended to be more active when a distractor object was present (Distractor+) than when absent (Distractor−) in monkeys PA and SO ( B ), although this trend did not reach statistical significance (two-way ANOVA with environments and object+/−, post hoc: Tukey–Kramer; PA[S/R]: P = 0.965; PA[S/P]: P = 0.890; PI[S/R]: P = 0.930; PI[S/P]: P = 0.998; SO[S/R]: P = 0.483; SO[S/P]: P = 0.716).
