Stimuli also causes certain parts of the brain to become more dominant. A smaller amygdala means everything else gets more resources.

A larger amygdala means the fear response is so constant that it takes up more resources and makes everything else smaller.

This is basic neurological science. Similar studies of redistribution of resources have been made on blind and deaf people.
