Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: 'Humans report fear upon electrical stimulation of the'... However, the answer choices are not provided in the data, so we cannot examine each alternative.
In the absence of listed options, we can rely on well-established neuroscience: the amygdala is a key structure in the fear circuit; electrical stimulation of the amygdala in humans reliably elicits fear and defensive responses, while stimulation of other nearby regions often produces different sensations or autonomic changes rather than fear per se.
If one of the typical options were 'amygdala', that would align with classic findings from early brain stimulation studies showing fear responses when the amygdala is activated. Other candidates like the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, or thalamus have different roles and are less consistently linked to the immediate subjective feeling of fear when stimulated, though they can modulate or influence fear in broader networks.
Because the provided answer field lists 'amygdala.' as the answer, this reinforces the standard result that stimulation of the amygdala is fear-evoking. That said, without the concrete option list, we can't critique alternatives in this instance.
