Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the function of the limbic system, which is a complex set of structures in the brain involved in emotion, behavior, and long-term memory.
Identify the key components of the limbic system: the hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, and amygdala.
Examine the role of each component: the hippocampus is primarily involved in memory formation, the thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information, and the hypothalamus regulates autonomic functions and homeostasis.
Focus on the amygdala, which is known for its critical role in processing emotions, particularly fear and aggression.
Conclude that the amygdala is the part of the limbic system that plays a key role in the emotions of fear and aggression, distinguishing it from the other components listed.
