Source sentences:
text: If the amygdala perceives the record of experiences in the hippocampus matches incoming information, and the amygdala judges that the stimuli is a fight, flight or freeze situation, then the amygdala triggers the HPA (hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal) axis and “hijacks” the prefrontal cortex (PFC)—partly due to blood flow being redirected from the PFC to the limbic system.
