The answer is the first one: the amygdala.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Amygdala: The amygdala is a brain structure that is closely associated with emotions, including fear and aggression. Increased activity in the amygdala is often linked to aggressive behavior, making this the correct answer.

  2. Cerebellum: The cerebellum is primarily involved in motor control and coordination. It is not directly associated with aggression, so this option is incorrect.

  3. Medulla: The medulla is part of the brainstem and is responsible for regulating vital functions such as heart rate and breathing. It is not specifically linked to aggression, making this option incorrect.

  4. Corpus Callosum: The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres of the brain, facilitating communication between them. It is not directly related to aggression, so this option is incorrect.

In summary, increased activity in the amygdala is related to aggression.
