I think this is a case of an inebriated translator.. Or someone whose attention is lacking due to a problem with snoring and who needs their amygdale removed..
The book is Attention: Theory and Practice - by Addie Johnson and Robert W. Procter. I am reading it in Spanish translation, I don't have access to it in English. The exact sentence:
Dado que el ronquido está frecuentemente causado por una apnea, la cual puede deberse a la presencia de amígdalas de gran tamaño, etirpar las amígdalas podría, en algunos casos, mejorar el cuadro de TDAH.
My translation: Given that snoring is frequently caused by an apnea, which can be due to the presence of large amygdalae, removing the amygdale could, in some cases, improve ADHD.
Am I right in thinking this is completely wrong?
There is no citation, but I found this study:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3468947/
And the following sentence:
The estimated source generator in response to the frequent stimuli for control children was in the limbic lobe (estimated in the uncus of the amygdala).
