A component of the brain called the amygdala (uh-mig-duh-luh) which is responsible for elements of learned fear and reactions to it, sends impulses to the frontal lobe (planning and organization). The process in its entirety takes approximately 52-56 seconds, depending on the subject. The phrase "wait a minute" is in response to implementation of that process. One minute allows the subject to "think out" the long term effects of a response to the initial stimuli.
