...in conservative minds the brain’s amygdala, which is associated with anxiety and emotion, tends to be larger, whereas the anterior cingulate, which is associated with courage and optimism, tends to be smaller.

I dunno... maybe it's my amygdala itching me, but how big is it supposed to be? What's the proper cranial alotment for an anterior cingulate?

One other thing: isn't the amygdala associated with memory storage and recall?

I meant "allotment."

Maybe swollen amydalas are bad for spelling.
