I do not know why this article has been changed to low importance. Jung's conception of subcortical brain regions being archetypally structured was endorsed by Jaak Panksepp and colleagues among many others. Panksepp is one of the most important neuroscientists of the second half of the twentieth century having founded the field of affective neuroscience (Panksepp Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions 1998 https://www.amazon.com/Affective-Neuroscience-Foundations-Emotions-Science/dp/019517805X). This is what Panksepp and colleagues had to say about Jung in their 2017 article 'The Affective Core of the Self: A Neuro-Archetypical Perspective on the Foundations of Human (and Animal) Subjectivity':

"...we think that such assertions by Jung were not only quite farsighted, but they actually open ways to connect his theory of the psyche with the most advanced scientific theories and discoveries of our day." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5586212/
