Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to the amygdala is known to impact one's ability to perceive and interpret emotions, specifically fear and anger. The amygdala plays a crucial role in the processing and recognition of these emotions in others. Hence, the inability to perceive others' fear or anger is likely when the amygdala is damaged. A and B are incorrect options as there is no direct evidence to show that damage to the amygdala leads to increased rage or increased pleasure. Option C is partially incorrect as damage to the amygdala may impact the ability to perceive happiness, but it is not the only emotion impacted.
