Brain structures responsible for sexual behaviors. Pick one of the following brain areas: MPOA, Medial Amygdala, vmH, PVN, or SDN. Then, describe in detail what types of symptoms would result if an individual had damage to that area. DO NOT LIST or NAME your brain area! When you respond to the other post, your job is to try to guess what the damaged brain area is, and why you think that is the area. You will be graded on how well you describe the deficits for that brain area.

Answer:

The chosen area was Medial Amygdala

Explanation:

This structure is responsible for the expression of emotions such as fear, anger and survival instinct. Damage to this structure causes a decrease in these sensations and prevents the individual from being able to feel conditioned fear, which is the ability of an individual to associate an object or a situation with something threatening.

Some people may even think that damage to this brain structure would be beneficial, as it is responsible for feelings that we don't like to feel. However, these feelings are fundamental to keep us away from dangerous situations, inconsequential behaviors and stressful situations that can cause us a lot of harm.
