Quick mobilization of energy
|
|
What is a hormonal reaction due to emotion?
|
Epinephrine and noepiniphrene (adrenal medulla)
Steroid (adrenal cortex) |
|
What is the input of the amygdala?
|
Sensory cortex and hippocampus
|
|
What nucleus of the amygdala is important for the expression of fear?
|
Central nucleus
|
|
What happens when the central nucleus of the amygdala is damaged?
|
Stress effects
|
|
Serotinin _______ aggression
|
Inhibits
|
|
5-HIAA is a _____________ of serotinin
|
metabolite
|
|
Prosac is a reuptake inhibitor that _______
|
inhibits aggression by preventing reuptake of serotonin
|
|
The vMPFC is _____________ aggression
|
inhibits
|
|
the VMPFC outputs to
|
the cingulate cortex, the hippocampus, the lateral hypothalamus, temporal cortex and amygdala
|
|
inputs to the VMPFC
|
dorsomedial thalamus, temporal cortex, ventral tegmental area, olfactory and amygdala
|
|
What happens with there are low levels of serotonin inputs to PFC?
|
Decreased PFC size
|
|
What is affective blindsight?
|
The ability of a person with visual cortex damage to look at a picture and know the emotion but not that it is a face. This is due to a direct connection from the cortical and subcortical input of thalamus to the amygdala.
|
|
Do High SF or Low SF pictures activate the amygdala?
|
Low SF activate the amygdala. This suggests that the input of the amygdala is the magnocellular system
|
|
Emotions are in the ________
|
Eyes
|
|
What happens when the motor areas are damaged?
|
When the face areas of the motor area are damaged people have difficulty expressing emotion
|
|
What could cause to poor social interation in autistic kids?
|
These children do not look people in the eyes (not getting emotional info)
|
|
Disgust activated what part of the cortex?
|
Insular cortex and basal ganglia
|
|
What is volitional facial paresis?
|
Inability to produce voluntary facial expression, but can express to emotion
|
|
What causes volitional facial paresis?
|
Damage to the face region of the PMC and subcortical connections
|
|
What is emotional facial paresis?
|
inability to produce emotional facial expression but able to do voluntary expression
|
|
What causes emotional facial paresis?
|
Damage to insular PFC, subcortical white matter of the frontal lobe and thalamus
|
|
What is the James Lange Theory of feelings?
|
Feelings are caused by actions.
Evidence: spinal cord damage, Botox, simulated expression, recall emotion = somatosensory activated, mirror neurons |
|
What hemisphere is involved primarily in emotion?
|
The right hemisphere
