Color the brain's fear system

February 15, 2008 2:39pm

Hi Mark, I just wanted to note that there are two mistakes in this drawing. The definitions for the amygdala and prefrontal cortex have been inadvertently switched.

The amygdala is the portion of the limbic system that deals with remembered fear.

The prefrontal cortex is the portion of the brain that makes judgement calls that lead to a physical action.
