    Procrastination is inexorably linked to emotion and behavior regulation. This is action control. Those with higher amygdala volumes display lower action control—they experience anxiety about the negative consequences of their actions and put things off. https://t.co/CasP7lZZtW

    Basically people who procrastinate actually have their fear centers light up a lot more,"says psychologist Perpetua Neo "There's a lot of fear linked in with work,so they need to delay their start." This may sometimes be a result of being a perfectionist, https://t.co/BMgawv52F1

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigates how differences in individuals' ability to control actions and emotions are linked to brain structures, particularly focusing on the amygdala.
  • It finds that people with higher action orientation (AOD) tend to have smaller amygdala volumes and stronger resting-state connectivity between the amygdala and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.
  • These results suggest that variations in brain anatomy and functional networks underlie individual differences in action control, highlighting the neural basis of emotion and self-control mechanisms.]
