Provide a response to the following statement that includes information about the vmPFC from the textbook: "Firemen are extremely brave; they rush into burning buildings! They must not be afraid."
What will be an ideal response?
Firemen may or may not be afraid, but being afraid does not preclude the opportunity to engage in bravery. In fact, the vmPFC appears to be related to bravery, such that activation of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex in the vmPFC causes individuals to act bravely. Therefore, firemen may be afraid when rushing into the burning building, but the activation of the sgACC allows them to overcome this fear and behave in a way that is necessary for the situation., APA LO-1.3 Describe applications of psychology.
