The amygdala plays a key role in processing emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. Stimulation of this area could lead to sudden feelings of anxiety and fear. The hypothalamus is involved in regulation of bodily functions and emotions but it is not primarily associated with fear and anxiety. The thalamus is a relay center for sensory information and does not play a major role in emotion regulation. The prefrontal cortex is involved in regulation of executive functions and emotion regulation, but stimulation here would be less likely to result in sudden anxiety or fear.
