• B)The amygdala projects relatively few fibers upward to the frontal cortex, while the frontal cortex projects relatively many fibers down to the amygdala.
• C)The number of nerve fibers projected upward from the amygdala to the frontal cortex is about the same as the number of frontal cortex fibers projected to the amygdala.
