Amygdala in olfaction
Some projections from the mitral cells of the olfactory bulb reach the amygdala, which is one of the main brain regions responsible for emotion. The link between olfaction and the amygdala suggests answers for why smell is so strongly associated with emotions.

A research study compares brain activity in two groups of participants: one group with a diagnosed anxiety disorder and a control group with no disorder. Both groups are shown a series of images, some of which are emotionally neutral and others designed to elicit a fear response. Based on the known function of a key brain structure in processing fear, which of the following outcomes would be most expected?
