The amygdala is a part of the brain's limbic system and is known to be involved in processing emotions like fear and aggression. The pons (A) is involved in functions like sleep and arousal, the hindbrain (B) is more about basic life - sustaining functions, and the cerebral cortex (D) is mainly for higher - order cognitive functions. So the amygdala is activated during fear or aggression.
