Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amygdala plays a central role in the experience of fear as it is responsible for detecting and processing emotionally significant information, including fear-inducing stimuli. The thalamus is responsible for relaying sensory information to the cortex, including fear-inducing stimuli, but it does not play as central a role as the amygdala. The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating motor movements and the hippocampus is more involved in memory and spatial navigation.
