The central nervous system acts as Batman while the autonomic nervous system serves as Robin, with the amygdala activated in fear, stress, anxiety, depression, and worry, all of which challenge the continuum of our behavior.

Summary
The central nervous system acts as Batman while the autonomic nervous system serves as Robin, with the amygdala activated in fear, stress, anxiety, depression, and worry, all of which challenge the continuum of our behavior. The central nervous system is focused on survival, which can trigger fear in response to past threatening experiences.
