Functional magnetic resonance imaging in consumer research: A review and application (2011, background): “Aron et al. (2007) argued that it is hardly possible to infer a specific function such as anxiety from the activation of a specific brain area such as the amygdala because the amygdala also engages in other functions such as learning (Paton et al., 2006).”
Beyond simple reinforcement learning: the computational neurobiology of reward‐learning and valuation (2012, background): “…such as the ventral and dorsal striatum, amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex, have been found to resemble the type of value signals that might be acquired by means of such a prediction error signal (Schoenbaum et al. , 1998; Gottfried et al. , 2003; Samejima et al. , 2005; Paton et al. , 2006).”

The orbitofrontal cortex and beyond: from affect to decision-making. (2008, background): “With respect to the primate amygdala, the evidence is that any reversal of neurons in a visual discrimination reversal is relatively slow, if occurring taking tens of trials (Paton et al., 2006; Sanghera et al., 1979), and so the amygdala appears to make a less important contribution than the orbito”
