Keep your amygdala cool, man!

When your amygdala is out of control, you can experience aggressive reactions towards problem solving situations. If, in addition to this, your brain has a small anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), not only you get easily angry, but you even stay angry for a long time. The scientific explanation is that ACC controls your amygdala to regulate your behavior. If these two parts of your brain are not good connected nor balanced, you look like Donald Duck quite too often. By the way, from today I can blame my probably small amygdala for my easy bad mood :)
