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.
People can get de Quervain's when they hurt or use the thumb or wrist too much. Common activities that need your wrist and thumb can cause the problem. Some activities that might cause de Quervain's are: 1  Wringing out wet clothes. 2  Hammering. 3  Skiing. 4  Knitting. 5  Lifting heavy objects such as a jug of milk, taking a frying pan off of the stove, or lifting a baby out of a crib.
