Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amygdala is primarily associated with processing emotions, especially fear, and does not play a central role in the encoding or retrieval of factual knowledge. The frontal cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus are all involved in aspects of memory, including the processing, storage, and retrieval of factual information.
