abstract = {The amygdala is a subcortical region in the mesiotemporal
lobe that plays a key role in emotional and sensory
functions. Conventional neuroimaging experiments treat this
structure as a single, uniform entity, but there is ample
histological evidence for subregional heterogeneity in
microstructure and function. The current study characterized
subregional structure-function coupling in the human
amygdala, integrating post-mortem histology and in vivo MRI
at ultra-high fields. Core to our work was a novel
neuroinformatics approach that leveraged multiscale texture
analysis as well as non-linear dimensionality reduction
techniques to identify salient dimensions of microstructural
variation in a 3D post-mortem histological reconstruction of
the human amygdala. We observed two axes of subregional
variation in this region, describing inferior-superior as
well as mediolateral trends in microstructural
differentiation that in part recapitulated established
atlases of amygdala subnuclei. Translating our approach to
in vivo MRI data acquired at 7 Tesla, we could demonstrate
the generalizability of these spatial trends across 10
healthy adults. We then cross-referenced microstructural
axes with functional blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD)
signal analysis obtained during task-free conditions, and
revealed a close association of structural axes with
macroscale functional network embedding, notably the
temporo-limbic, default mode, and sensory-motor networks.
Our novel multiscale approach consolidates descriptions of
amygdala anatomy and function obtained from histological and
in vivo imaging techniques.},
