What is the general brain function of the amygdala? What part of the amygdala would I use during a card game

The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped structure in the brain that is primarily involved in processing emotions and emotional responses. It plays a key role in the formation and storage of emotional memories, as well as in regulating fear, anxiety, and aggression.

During a card game, you may use the lateral nucleus of the amygdala, which is involved in recognizing and processing emotional cues, such as facial expressions or body language of other players. This part of the amygdala helps you assess the emotional significance of various stimuli and make decisions based on those emotional cues.
