2. Participants or subjects
3. Experimental design (Include apparatus, control, and experimental variables.)
4. Results (Include discussion of values obtained for the control and experimental variables and how these were analyzed.)
5. Conclusions and interpretation about the role of the amygdala in emotional responses
