Answer: Medial Prefrontal Cortex
Explanation: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a condition people develop after a traumatic or terrifying event. The amygdala is responsible for conditioned fear response to such events but the Medial Prefrontal Cortex is responsible for judging whether the stress is manageable or not.
When we experience traumatic stress, memory changes occur and physical changes have been observed in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex to reflect these changes. This area of the brain is responsible for making decisions and judgments
. When it is not activated, PTSD develops.
