The amygdala is responsible for processing emotions and is involved in the formation and storage of emotional memories. It is likely that when Alice drives by the hospital, the amygdala is activated, leading to the recollection of her grandmother's suffering and evoking an emotional response. The cerebellum is involved in motor coordination and the parietal lobe is involved in sensory processing and spatial awareness, while the left frontal lobe is mainly involved in language processing and executive functions.
