Neuron numbers increase in the human amygdala from birth to adulthood, but not in autism. [PDF]
, 2018 Remarkably little is known about the postnatal cellular development of the human amygdala. It plays a central role in mediating emotional behavior and has an unusually protracted development well into adulthood, increasing in size by 40% from youth to ...
