The sound of the beating heart emphasizes the madness of the narrator in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” while the sound of the crying cat in “The Black Cat” does not.

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator hears the beating of the heart that he removed from the old man and hid under his floor. This sound is constant, and it is clear that it is illogical. Therefore, the sound is a way in which Poe emphasizes the insanity of the narrator. On the other hand, the sound of the crying cat in "The Black Cat" is something that could be possible. Moreover, it is not one of the main signs in the story that imply the narrator is insane.

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

explanation:

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
