In reply to Hitting that naughty Amygdala, posted by glenn on December 1, 2003, at 11:46:23
Interesting topic. I read a series of article on Mass General Hospital/McLean Hospital shared webspace on modern psychosurgery. One such operation involved placing a lesion in the amygdala using a cryo-probe. I believe it was for intractable OCD and anxiety states. Never heard of using a drug to attain a similar result, but it sounds theoretically feasible. I'll see if I can can't find a link to those articles for you.
