heightened activation in the amygdala
: In fact, in some iterations of the experiment,
where the volunteers played with a group of computers rather than with a group of people,
their amygdalae stayed quiet even when they disagreed with the computers. This suggests
that people who don’t conform suffer not so much the fear of being wrong as the anxiety of
being excluded from the group.

CHAPTER 4: IS TEMPERAMENT DESTINY?
A general note on this chapter
: Chapter 4 discusses the psychologist Jerome Kagan’s
work on high reactivity, which some contemporary psychologists would consider to lie at
the intersection of introversion and another trait known as “neuroticism.” For the sake of
readability, I have not elucidated that distinction in the text.

Kagan and Nancy Snidman,
