What is the behavioural response of emotion?
Muscle changes
What is the autonomic response of emotion?
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

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
