The AMYGDALA. A writer couldn't invent a better word to name the neural organ of flight / fight. This article reminded me of the trailer I recently saw for PARANORMAL, where audience reactions form a key part of the teasing. It's as if the filmmakers are flat out saying to the audience: "We're all engaged in nothing other than a neuro-psychological experiment. We the filmmakers provide the sequences of stimuli; you the audience serve as lab rats who can not avoid being scared. Just try to use your reason + free will. It won't work." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_UxLEqd074 Ah, yes. The AMYGDALA. A writer couldn’t invent a better word to name the neural organ of flight / fight.
