Emotions in Work Teams Neal Ashkanasy Emotions are an inescapable part of life at work. Sensitivity to emotional cues is therefore a key management skill. The amygdala belongs to the limbic system, and has recently been found as the spot in brain where we turn on and off fear.
Signals go from thalamys and process very fast through Amygdala, and start the process.
Without full function of Amygdala you lose emotions. And if you lose control of Amygdala you can't reconize emotions at all. Amygdala is so to speak a second brain. Within our autonomic system there are a lot of functions that are dealing with our unconscious emotions. The heart reacts automatically on fear, so does lungs, and our reaction due to our basis reaction on e.g. fear, stress.
