Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amygdala is a key part of the limbic system that is responsible for processing emotions, particularly fear and aggression. When we experience exciting or shocking events, the amygdala is activated, leading to the formation of strong memories. The other options (hypothalamus, basal ganglia, cerebellum) are also part of the limbic system, but they are not as directly involved in emotional processing as the amygdala.
