Explanation:

The amygdala is crucial for processing emotions like fear. If it's dysfunctional, a person may not feel fear in situations that should evoke it (like horror movies) and may engage in risky behavior without considering consequences. The basal ganglia are related to movement and some cognitive functions. The frontal lobes are involved in decision - making, but the primary emotion - fear connection is more directly with the amygdala. The striatum is part of the basal ganglia system mainly related to motor control and reward - related behaviors.

Answer:

Amygdala
