I don't think that messing with brain structure
"just because" we think it might work is a good idea. Do we even know that the Amygdala is root of these problems ? I suspect it is not the root but a step along the way.Anyway, it matters not. Science is not where near doing this, so there is no point to hashing it out. It is not going to happen.
