The experiment involves looking at the functions of the various brain structures (e.g., cerebellum, cerebral cortex, medulla, etc). A mad scientist wants to do “removal studies” in order to isolate these functions. The mad scientist does have a heart, though – he lets you decide which brain structures you want to give up.What brain structures would you choose to remove and why? How would you expect your behavior to change?
Amygdala. Sorry, I can't remember how to spell it properly. I'd be interested to see how it influences my emotions.
Edit: I misunderstood the question. I wouldn't want to PERMANENTLY remove my Amygdala- only temporarily to see the effect.What brain structures would you choose to remove and why? How would you expect your behavior to change?
Amygdala, although it makes us a little crazy the world would be flat and grey and boring because we wouldn't be able to feel emotions.
If you would remove the amygdala you would probably become a robot or some psycho killer.
