Question

What role does the amygdala play in both mothers and fathers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amygdala is the integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation. If the brain is turned upside down the end of the structure continuous with the hippocampus is called the uncus. If you peel away uncus you will expose the amygdala which abuts the anterior of the hippocampus

Explanation:

The comparable amygdala response in mothers and primary-caregiving fathers indicates the potential to activate the evolutionary ancient pathway when fathers raise infants without mothers, demonstrating amygdala sensitivity to the primary-caregiving role.
