A revised view of the amygdala, its relationship with the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and its role in intelligent human decision-making is proposed. Based on recent findings, we present a framework in which the amygdala plays a central role in the value computations that determine which goals are worth pursuing, while the PFC plays a central role in generating and evaluating possible action plans to realize these goals. We suggest that the amygdala and PFC continuously work together during decision-making and goal pursuit as individuals compute and recompute the value and likelihood of different goals while interacting with a dynamic world. Once seen as chiefly involved in simple stimulus–outcome associative learning, the amygdala is shown to play a sophisticated role in human decision-making by contributing to the moment-by-moment integration of multiple costs and benefits to determine optimal choices. We discuss implications of the framework for brain development, emotion regulation, intelligence, and psychopathology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)

杏仁核和前额叶皮层：智能决策的共同构建。

提出了杏仁核、它与前额叶皮层 (PFC) 的关系及其在智能人类决策中的作用的修正观点。根据最近的发现，我们提出了一个框架，其中杏仁核在确定哪些目标值得追求的价值计算中发挥核心作用，而 PFC 在生成和评估实现这些目标的可能行动计划方面发挥核心作用。我们建议杏仁核和 PFC 在决策制定和目标追求过程中持续协同工作，因为个人在与动态世界交互时计算和重新计算不同目标的价值和可能性。曾经被视为主要涉及简单的刺激-结果联想学习，杏仁核被证明在人类决策中发挥着复杂的作用，它有助于随时整合多种成本和收益以确定最佳选择。我们讨论了该框架对大脑发育、情绪调节、智力和精神病理学的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）
