To illustrate such a process helps preventing dangerous events effectively. The neural processing mechanism of potential threat includes potential threat detection and appraisal. Potential threat detection relates to two neural channels: the subcortical channel and the cortical channel, in which the amygdala served as the corehub. Potential threat appraisal involves the activation of the medial prefrontal cortex, an- terior cingulate cortex and some other neural structures. To correctly cope with dangerous situa- tions, potential threat processing needs not only a superposition of such two processes, but in- cluding the cooperation with other brain regions. However, these mechanisms still need further research to clarify.
