The amygdala is the smoke detector in the brain, think of the frontal lobes - and specifically, the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), located directly above our eyes - as the watchtower, offering a view of the scene from on high. Is that smoke you smell the sign that your house is on fire and you need to get out, fast - or is it coming from the steak you put over too high a flame?
