Which brain region is thought to be responsible for creating stressful memory imprints onto the nervous system?

The correct answer is amygdala.

The amygdala is the part of the limbic system of the brain located within the temporal lobe. The functions of the amygdala include the processing of memory, emotional responses (fear, anxiety, and aggression), decisions.. It’s also a brain structure involved in turning on the stress response and actions that are related to stress and self-defense.

explanation:

the sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its function. the dna sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. thus, any changes in dna sequence can result in changes in protein function. this is called a mutation.
