I believe the answer is: Less;More
Less activation in amygdala tend to happen when we move far away from fight or flight situation (when our body does not need a surge of adrenaline).
More activation in the prefrontal cortex tend to happen when our body is relaxed which allow our cognitive ability to flourish to perform complex thought.
