I watched a documentary recently (Free Solo), and in one part of the film, it showed via an MRI that the main character has ‘no activation in your amygdala’. What does this mean?

The amygdala, to my knowledge, deals with be processing of emotions, mostly fear. It’s what alerts us to proceed with caution and is part of our survival instruct to keep us from danger. It also deals with memory through emotion (since fear is the strongest emotion it’s often associated with that for memory as well).
