A digital ecosystem, fueled by serendipity. Amygdala. Amygdala- part of the telencephalon, located in the temporal lobe; involved in memory, emotion, and fear. The amygdala is both large and just beneath the surface of the front, medial part of the temporal lobe where it causes the bulge on the surface called the uncus. This is a component of the limbic system.
De Quervain's release is a minor surgical procedure accomplished through a small incision exposing the tendon sheath (retinaculum) along the thumb (radial) side of the wrist. The sheath is cut (released) around the two tendons at the base of the thumb and portions of the sheath may be excised.
De Quervain's tenosynovitis (also called de Quervainâs disease or de Quervainâs syndrome) is a painful inflammation of tendons in the thumb that extend to the wrist. The swollen tendons rub against the narrow tunnel they pass through. That causes pain at the base of the thumb and into the lower arm.
