Limbic System and the Amygdala
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The limbic system, including the amygdala and parts of the thalamus and hypothalamus, regulates emotion, fear, and motivation, and contributes to memory formation.
Show
The amygdala is central to both feeling fear and recognizing fearful expressions on others' faces.
Watch for
The limbic system is a functional grouping of connected structures, not one single anatomically bounded organ.
