Question 7

When studying biopsychology, you will have learned about neural explanations of human behaviour, specifically how brain structure can influence aggression.

Complete Table 1 by identifying the correct brain structure or region associated with each functional description.

Table 1

Brain structure or region	Functional description
	This subcortical structure processes emotional stimuli and evaluates environmental threats; hyper-reactivity here is strongly linked to heightened reactive aggression.
	This cortical region is responsible for executive functions and regulating emotional responses, functioning to inhibit impulsive aggressive urges generated by lower brain areas.
	This interconnected network of subcortical structures (including the hippocampus and hypothalamus) is collectively responsible for emotional processing and instinctual survival drives.
