Many anxiety disorders also show an overactive amygdala and periaqueductal gray area which can have negative repercussions not just on the brain but on our bodies.

许多焦虑症还会出现杏仁核和导水管周围的灰质区域过度活跃的情况，这不仅会对大脑产生负面影响，还会对我们的身体产生负面影响。

While many areas of the brain are involved in anger—such as the hypothalamus and periaqueductal gray mediate—the main area that gets activated when we're angry at someone is the amygdala.

虽然大脑的许多区域都与愤怒有关——比如下丘脑和导水管周围灰质介质——但当我们对某人生气时，主要激活的区域是杏仁核。

Sun and his colleagues focused their attention on the periaqueductal gray… a brain region known to be involved in handling the closely related sensation of pain.

Sun 和他的同事们将注意力集中在导水管周围灰质区域… … 一个已知参与处理密切相关的疼痛感的大脑区域。

In women, an area called the periaqueductal gray (or PAG) is activated, stimulating the flight or fight response while the cortex -- which is associated with pain -- lights up, suggesting that there is a connection between pain and pleasure.

在女性中，一个叫做导水管周围灰质（或 PAG）的区域被激活，刺激飞行或战斗反应， 而与疼痛相关的皮质会亮起， 表明疼痛和快乐之间存在联系。
