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.

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 is inflammation of tendons on the side of the wrist at the base of the thumb. These tendons include the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus tendons, which extend the joints of the thumb. De Quervain's tenosynovitis can be brought on by simple strain injury to the extensor pollicis longus and abductor pollicis tendons (tendinitis). Often this form of tendinitis is a result of repetitive motion injury.
