How does the interaction between serotonin and the amygdala impact emotional processing and regulation?
The interaction between serotonin and the amygdala affects emotional processing and regulation by influencing how the brain responds to and regulates emotions. Serotonin helps regulate mood and emotions, while the amygdala plays a key role in processing emotions and triggering the body's response to stress and fear. When serotonin levels are imbalanced, it can impact the amygdala's function, leading to difficulties in emotional regulation and potentially contributing to mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.
