What role do the amygdala and prefrontal cortex play in detecting emotions?

What will be an ideal response?

The amygdala receives input from all the senses. Using all this sensory input, the amygdala monitors and evaluates whether stimuli have positive or negative emotional significance for our well-being and survival. It is also involved in storing memories that have emotional content. The amygdala is the reason you can remember that a joke is funny or a face is happy or threatening.

The prefrontal cortex is involved in remembering and experiencing emotions even when the emotional object is not present. It is also involved in anticipating and analyzing the potential rewards, punishments, and emotional consequences of performing or not performing certain behaviors
