The Science of Emotion Regulation: How Our Brains Process Emotions
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
The amygdala acts as an emotional alarm system, while the prefrontal cortex helps to tame emotional responses by evaluating situations.
- 2
The hippocampus is involved in encoding and consolidating emotional memories, linking emotions to the context in which they occur.
- 3
Early trauma and stress can lead to an overactive and oversensitive amygdala, which can override the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, leading to emotion-based reactions.
