The fine line between ‘brave’ and ‘reckless’: Amygdala reactivity and regulation predict recognition of risk

Abstract: Our results refine the sensation-seeking construct to provide important distinctions (brain-based, but with endocrine and cognitive consequences) between the brave, who feel fear but nonetheless overcome it, and the reckless, who fail to recognize danger. This distinction has important real-world implications, as those who fail to recognize risk are less likely to mitigate it.

“…It has been postulated that amygdala activation in response to threat signals relates to lower basal C2425, but higher C reactivity2526. On the other hand, endogenous T in men has been positively associated with amygdala reactivity to threat2728 (but see29), as well as with lower OFC engagement during emotion-contingent motor control30.…”

“…Como en el caso del TAP y la psicopatía, también estos términos se confunden. La búsqueda de sensaciones o de la novedad es un constructo caracterizado por la búsqueda de nuevos estímulos incluso ante un mayor riesgo de sufrir daño (Mujica-Parodi et al, 2014). Las vías dopaminérgicas de los circuitos cerebrales motivacionales y de la acción modulan este comportamiento fuertemente biológico y hereditario.…”

“…En el caso de la búsqueda de la novedad, esta flexibilidad se pierde cuando falta el control ejecutivo, y en este caso, aparece la impulsividad. Desde este punto de vista, es clara la distinción entre el "valiente", que siente miedo y lo supera organizando su conducta para reaccionar ante el peligro, el "cobarde", que siente miedo y huye porque piensa que no es capaz de manejar el peligro, y el "temerario", que no siente miedo, por lo que ignora el peligro (Mujica-Parodi et al, 2014).…”
