I recently read of experiments where electrical stimulation of the amygdala
was shown to lead to intense emotional feelings in the subject. (I think it was in Lynch & Ambros-Ingerson's monograph "Memory's Highway", but I don't have their email addresses). However, no reference was given on this (it was just an 'aside'.) Does anyone know the reference? I'd be intrigued to know how such an
experiment could be carried out.

Thanks in advance,
