A digital ecosystem, fueled by serendipity. Amygdala. Amygdala- part of the telencephalon, located in the temporal lobe; involved in memory, emotion, and fear.

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.
Treatment of De Quervain's tenosynovitis includes any combination of rest, splinting, ice, anti-inflammation medication, and/or cortisone injection. Surgery is only rarely necessary.
