Abstract: We experience many emotions every day, but as a topic of study emotion has been neglected until recently. Now, however, with the development of sophisticated techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, the neural basis of emotion can be studied. Four new reports have used slightly different approaches, and conclude that the amygdala — a complex structure within the temporal lobes of the brain — is involved in the responses to fear.
