Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
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.
