The question is, are there differences in the neuroD2 gene-coding sequence or differences downstream of the neuroD2 pathway during brain development that could affect either psychiatric or emotional functions in humans? It's a completely unexplored question; it is the immediate next question you would go to if you want to understand how this gene impacts human behavior. - James Olson

All of this matches very well with previous observations that the amygdala is responsible for fear, anxiety, and aggression. - James Olson

Most of us are familiar with the fact that we can remember things better if those memories are formed at a time when there is a strong emotional impact -- times when we are frightened, angry, or falling in love...
