Which area of John's brain would become active as he gains control over his emotions

A)  right hemisphere only 
B)  cortical regions 
C)  amygdala 
D)  mesolimbic dopamine pathway

Cortical regions, specifically the prefrontal cortex, are responsible for emotional regulation and decision making. As John gains control over his emotions during the presentation, it is likely that his prefrontal cortex becomes more active. The amygdala is involved in the initial processing of emotions and the mesolimbic dopamine pathway is involved in reward processing. The right hemisphere is involved in some aspects of emotional processing, but it is not the sole area responsible for emotional regulation.
