Detailed explanation-1: -The amygdala is responsible for the expression of fear and aggression as well as species-specific defensive behavior, and it plays a role in the formation and retrieval of emotional and fear-related memories.
Detailed explanation-2: -The regions that appear to be more critical for anxiety are the basolateral amygdala (BLA) within the basolateral complex, the central amygdala (CeA) within the central nucleus, and the medial amygdala (MeA) within the medial nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you have a stress/anxiety response, three parts of your brain are involved. These are: Your brain stem – also known as your ‘animal brain’, ‘reptilian brain’ or ‘survival brain’ Your limbic system which includes your hypothalamus, hippocampus and amygdala – also known as your ‘emotional brain’
Detailed explanation-4: -Brain areas implicated in the stress response include the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. Neurochemical systems, including Cortisol and norepinephrine, play a critical role in the stress response. These brain areas play an important role in the stress response.
Detailed explanation-5: -The amygdala is primarily involved in the processing of emotions and memories associated with fear. The amygdala is considered to be a part of the limbic system within the brain and is key to how we process strong emotions like fear or pleasure.
