The amygdala is responsible for controlling or regulating emotions. I remember this by saying "amy is emotional"
Emotion is processed in the amygdala and behavior is a function of the frontal cortex.
The amygdala is active while driving because it plays a role in processing emotions, especially fear and anxiety, which are heightened in potentially risky situations like driving. It helps to regulate responses to potential threats on the road and can also be involved in decision-making and assessing the emotional significance of different stimuli while driving.
Amygdala is seen to be linked to the orbital frontal cortex, the striatum and thalamus, which are all structures involved in emotional processing. In humans and animals, this amygdala is linked to both fear and pleasure responses. The main function of amygdala is emotional and social processing. It processes and stores memories of emotional events and is also involved in current emotional responses. Researchers also find that the amygdala in men and women respond differently to emotional situations. Basically, the amygdala is your emotional database.
