Question

what happens to pathways that pass through the amygdala if people get stuck in negative emotional patterns?

the occipital lobe can shut down

parietal lobe will shutdown

all of the above

they become too sensitive and hijack the brains circuits

Explanation:

When people are stuck in negative emotional patterns, the amygdala - related pathways become overly sensitive. The amygdala is involved in emotional processing. In such negative emotional states, these pathways can "hijack" the brain's circuits (this is a concept from neuroscience and psychology related to emotional regulation and brain function). The occipital lobe (vision - related) and parietal lobe (sensory integration, spatial awareness etc.) are not directly shut down due to being stuck in negative emotional patterns in the context of amygdala - related pathways.

Answer:

They become too sensitive and hijack the brain’s circuits.
