eir fear responses. The part of the brain that was most likely under investigation in this study was the ________.a. amygdala b. hippocampus
c. basal ganglia
d. medulla oblongata
According to my research on studies conducted by various neurologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the part of the brain that was most likely under investigation in this study was the amygdala. This can be said because the amygdala is the part of the brain that is responsible for emotions, survival instincts (which dictates fear levels), and memory.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
