My brain is stuck in amygdala mode.
Wenn PFC und Amygdala nicht ausbalanciert sind, können verschiedene psychische und neurologische Krankheitsbilder folgen, z.B. ADHS (oft unterentwickelter PFC), Borderline (oft strukturell/funktionell schwache Verbindung zwischen PFC und Amygdala), Angsterkrankungen & PTBS (häufig Amygdala ...

Stimulus-specific recruitment of human amygdala neurons predicts episodic memory encoding success - Nature Neuroscience
The study shows that stimulus-specific neurons in the human amygdala determine which experiences become lasting memory, revealing a mechanism that predicts episodic memory formation and may guide futu...

folks in fight, flight, or flee aren't self-reflective. That's actually the definition of a amygdala hijack. The amygdala overrides critical thinking.

In other words, conservatives are well-primed to have their amygdala hijacked by fear appeals, primed for having their disgust response activated, and are easy targets for appeals to polarization that include shame and humiliation. Very vulnerable to Trumpism!

Some people have larger amygdala & larger fear responses. These people seek order, structure & certainty. They resist change, they’re less open to risk taking & have a greater disgust response. They highly value purity, order & dislike norm violations. They see life through us v them polarization.

Emotion regulation capacity lacks a shared neural signature - Nature
Sensorimotor and amygdala activation, but not canonical prefrontal control circuits, indicate emotion regulation capacity.

Aussie Halloween is so cool. You drop like $70 on confectionary and sit by the door all evening shovelling the stuff into your mouth and exactly one kid shows up, and by the time you get to sleep your sugar-saturated amygdala conjures up the demonic imaginings from a realm truly accurséd

Similar to a cult- the prefrontal cortex shuts down over time and the amygdala takes over.
