Among the structures of the "limbic system" involved in the origins of emotional responses, the amygdala is implicated in aversive and appetitive conditioning.
Mammals, such as dogs, pigs, cats and humans, have complex emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, etc. Complex motions are carried out by the limbic system in the brain. Reptiles have a limited array of emotions, such as fear and satisfaction. However, they do not have complex emotions like mammals. Brainless animals, like anemones and oysters, are incapable of processing emotions.
registers feelings such as fear and pleasure
Fear centre - amygdala: Amygdala is an emotional nucleus of the brain. It plays primary role in triggering fear response. It alerts other brain structures. The result is the fear responses: rapid heart-beat, increased blood pressure and a burst of adrenaline. after the fear activation thalamus - the processing hub - and then the cortex, which analyzes the data and decides whether they require a fear response. If they do, the cortex signals amygdala and the body stays on alert.
yes..well slaters inhabit places which are moist and dark...since dark areas have moist condition this prevents them from dehydration..as light is concerned, light comes with heat and this is why slaters move away from light....THEY FEAR OF DEHYDRATION!
The amygdala is the part of the brain responsible for processing fear and other emotional responses. It plays a key role in detecting threats and activating the body's fight-or-flight response.

the limbic system
The amygdala is the part of the limbic system responsible for regulating emotions such as fear and rage. It plays a key role in processing emotional responses and in the formation of emotional memories.
The amygdala
ln The Limbic system,which of the following is responsible for fear response and the memory of fear
It's not really a structure. The thalamus and the hypothalamus are associated with parts of the cerebral cortex and deep nuclei of the cerebrum to form a complex known as the limbic system. the limbic system is involved in memory and in emotions such as sadness, happiness, anger and fear. It seems to regulate emotional behavior, especially behavior that enhances survival.
Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus This is where the involuntary stuff happens, dilation of pupils, mood changes, anxiety and fear (hair on the back of your neck standing up...). This is sort of the caveman in us. Hope this was helpful. hppt://fitzpatrickconsultation.com
The amygdala is the center of all emotional impulses that stores emotional memory. It is located in the limbic system of the brain.
It is your right part of your brain.The right part of the brain controls speech and emotions.Left controls movement and the necessery thinking. The limbic system controls human emotion. It includes the hippocampus, amygdala, anterior thalamic nuclei, and limbic cortex and forms the inner border of the cortex. The frontal cortex The limbic system is generally understood to be the main area of the brain responsible for emotions - but there is some controversy in the neuropsychology field as to whether emotions really can be ascribed to any one specific area.
The limbic system is concerned with processes involved with memory and visceral and motor responses to emotion. Two of the more important structures of the limbic system are the hippocampus which is necessary for converting short-term to long-term memory Also the amygdala which ties memories together with emotion. the portions of the limbic system also allow us to know that we are holding something ie: a key in our hand without looking at it. It is important to realize that the limbic system comprises many different structures that are needed for day to day living.
The Limbic System, located between the inner border of the cerebral hemispheres, is sometimes referred to as the 'emotional brain'. It is a ring of structures including the amygdala (associated with fear and anger); the hippocampus (which helps to establish memories); the fornix (which links parts of the limbic system), and the hypothalamus (associated with thirst, hunger, body temperature,sexual function, and water balance). The limbic system is responsible for emotional and instinctive behavior including fear, anger, elation, disappointment, sadness, pleasure, and sexual feelings. It plays a key part in memory, interacts with the cerebral cortex to give conscious awareness of our feelings, and works with the hypothalamus to generate sex drive and arousal. The activities of the body that are governed are those concerned with self-preservation, among them, searching for food and fighting. Included link to a site that will tell you much more.
