A member asked:
Does anterior cingulate cortex turn off amygdala completely or simply make us unable to see emotions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Network analysis: Neural networks exist in the brain subserving certain functions, often specific to that network. Anterior cingulate (acc) and amygdala are in one such circuit. Disrupting communications between the two will cause changes in each component. Re-establishment of communications by re-wiring the brain (plasticity) may cause restoration of function but it may be abnormal-hence altered emotionality.
