Hippocampal formation
Limbic system: Hippocampus, Amygdala, Fimbria, Fornix, Mamillary body, Cingulate and Parahippocampal gyri, Indusium griseum, Subcallosal area, Anterior commissure, Thalamus, Corpus callosum, Septum pellucidum, Olfactory bulb
The amygdala, named in Latin after its likeness to an almond, is located in the brain just in front of the hippocampus. This is ideal because the amygdala attaches emotional significance to memories, which the hippocampus processes.
While the amygdala is best known and understood for emotional reactions (I.E., rage), when bitemporally lesioned (damaged in both hemispheres), patients tend to not only present with docility, but also hypersexuality with unusual objects and an odd tendency to put objects in their mouths. This is known as Kluver-Bucy Syndrome.
The calcium-binding protein calbindin and glial fibrillary acidic protein were immunofluorescently labeled in the coronal rat amygdala tissue section

“Dr. José Manuel Rodriguez Delgado (born August 8, 1915) is a Spanish professor of physiology at Yale University, famed for his research into electrical stimulation of regions in the brain.
Delgado’s research interests centered on the use of electrical signals to evoke responses in the brain.
The stimoceiver could be used to stimulate emotions and control behavior. According to Delgado, “Radio Stimulation of different points in the amygdala and hippocampus in the four patients produced a variety of effects, including pleasant sensations, elation, deep, thoughtful concentration, odd feelings, super relaxation, colored visions, and other responses.” Delgado stated that “brain transmitters can remain in a person’s head for life. The energy to activate the brain transmitter is transmitted by way of radio frequencies.”
The most famous example of the stimoceiver in action occurred at a Cordoba bull breeding ranch. Delgado stepped into the ring with a bull which had had a stimoceiver implanted. The bull charged Delgado, who pressed a remote control button which caused the bull to stop its charge. Delgado claimed that the stimulus caused the bull to lose its aggressive instinct.”
