Extended Amygdala

The Extended Amygdala is a neuroanatomical construct within the anxiety circuits literature, comprising a set of interconnected basal forebrain regions—including the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, central amygdala, and sublenticular extended amygdala—that function as an integrated system mediating sustained fear and anxiety responses distinct from the phasic fear processing of the canonical amygdala circuit.
