amygdala is a nut-shaped thing present in our brain.it helps us in reacting to situations without thinking. for example if suddenly someone starts attacking us, then the technical part of the brain will first think of all the possible outcome that can come with every type of reaction and till the time it decides which is the best reaction, we will be injured from the attack or dead but the amygdala makes us react without thinking about the possible outcomes of every reaction and results in instant reaction and if someone attacks us, we will be saved, even if our reaction is not the best.
Emotion is processed in the amygdala and behavior is a function of the frontal cortex.
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.
By activating the amygdala, stress hormones facilitate
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.
