Pregunta 4
Pregunta
Aggression is a [blank_start]survival trait[blank_end] as ancestors needed it to fight off predators. It is important to be able to turn it on and off which is what the [blank_start]limbic system[blank_end] does. The [blank_start]amygdla[blank_end] senses threat through [blank_start]fight[blank_end] or [blank_start]flight[blank_end] response. The [blank_start]hypothalmus[blank_end] produces [blank_start]testosterone[blank_end] and the [blank_start]thalmus[blank_end] sends warnings, triggering the aggressive response.
