Question

Which neural substrates (components) of the brain are involved with the emotions of fear and anxiety?

Answer 1

Amygdala is involved in the process of emotions such as fear and anxiety.

Explanation:

• The amygdala is an Almond-shaped structure present in the mid of the brain. It stores the memories of evil situations once experienced by the person.
• A part of the amygdala senses the outer environment clearly and compares it with the previous memories stored in it.
• When it finds any correlation of memory with the outside situation, it immediately reacts by sending flight responses.
• These flight responses given by the amygdala from the brain stimulates the emotions of fear and anxiety in humans.
• The role of the amygdala is to control fear and anxiety and manage these emotions effectively.
• But, in some cases, this may react in situations that are not evil for very sensitive people.
