Answer:

correlated with recognizing faces

Explanation:

fMRI is an acronym for magnetic resonance imaging that is one of the most widely performed exams in the world at the most modern medical centers and has revolutionized the diagnosis of various diseases, used in virtually all medical specialties and by patients of all ages, even by babies.

Through magnetic resonance imaging, it was possible to recognize a specific site of the brain, called the "fusiform area of faces" (or FFA), in the lower posterior part of the brain. This area is enabled only when we think we saw a face. Even if only one neck supporting a gray circle is shown to us, FFA is activated. If we confuse an object with a face, too. However, if we confuse a face with an object, nothing happens. Thus, it was possible to conclude that FFA is an area correlated with recognizing faces.

Answer:

B) physiological

Explanation:

When we feel under pressure, our nervous system instructs the body to release stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, that produce <u>physiological changes</u> in order to help us cope with the threat or danger we see looming over us. It is what is called "stress response" or "fight or flight" reaction.

When we are stressed, the respiratory system suffers the effect immediately. It usually costs us more to breathe and we do it faster in an attempt to quickly bring oxygen-rich blood to the body.

Cardiovascular effects also occur. When the stress is acute (at that precise moment), the heart rate and blood pressure rise, but return to normal once this has passed. If acute stress is experienced repeatedly or if the stress becomes chronic (if it lasts for a long period of time), it can cause damage to the veins and arteries. <u>This increases the risk of hypertension, heart attacks or heart attacks</u>.
