How can fear affect a person's behavior and judgment?

As some parts of your brain are revving up, others are shutting down. When the amygdala senses fear, the cerebral cortex (area of the brain that harnesses reasoning and judgment) becomes impaired — so now it's difficult to make good decisions or think clearly.
