|
Which part of the brain mediates the ability to appreciate the probable consequences of one's behavior, both cognitively and emotionally, BEFORE engaging in the behavior?
|
Ventral Prefrontal cortex
|
|
|
Which part of the brain allows one to behave in compliance with rules that are known, understood, and adopted?
|
Ventral Prefrontal Region
|
|
|
Which part of the brain allows us to discriminate different odors?
|
Ventral Prefrontal region - ipsilateral organization with respect to R and L nostrils
|
|
|
What function is unique to the medial prefrontal cortex?
|
This region is part of the anterior cingulate gyrus, which contributes to experience and behavioral expression of emotion
|
|
|
What part of the brain contributes to behavioral spontaneity?
|
Dorsolateral and Ventral Prefrontal regions
|
|
|
What part of the brain contributes to the ability to select appropriate behavior for time and place?
|
dorsolateral and ventral prefrontal regions
|
|
|
Name 5 functions shared by the dorsolateral and ventral prefrontal cortex
|
1. behavioral spontaneity
2. selection of context-appropriate behavior 3. mental and behavioral flexibility 4. response inhibition 5. self monitoring |

|
What happens when a person has extensive damage to the left prefrontal regions?
|
Pseudodepressive syndrome
|
|
|
What happens when a person has extensive damage to the right prefrontal regions?
|
Pseudopsychopathic syndrome
|
|
|
What happens when a person has extensive bilateral damage to the prefrontal regions?
|
combination of pseudodepressive and pseudopsychopathic syndromes
|
|
|
How does pseudodepressive syndrome differ from true depression?
|
Usually no experience of sadness, guilt, low self-esteem; see more apathy, loss of initiative, loss of interest and emotonal expression
|
|
|
How does pseudopsychopathic syndrome differ from true psychopathy?
|
1. Behavior is usually a change from an earlier conventional or adaptive pattern
2. More of an unrestrained, disinhibited quality, rather than malevolent... |
|
|
Name the 6 bilateral limbic system structures
|
Amygdala, hippocampus, mammilary bodies, fornixes, cingulate gyrus, septal nuclei
|
|
|
What cortical regions are involved in the paralimbic cortex?
|
Medial and inferior temporal lobe; medial, inferior, and dorsolateral prefrontal lobe
|
|
|
Along with the limbic structures and paralimbic cortex, what parts of the brain are important in emotional processing?
|
sensory association cortices in the temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes
|
|
|
Emotions are inferred states that involve:
|
1. physiological activity
2. behaviors 3. Cognitions |
|
|
What kind of damage might cause sensory aprosodia?
|
Damage to the right temporal lobe
|
|
|
What kind of damage could make it difficult for someone to perceive and discriminate facial expressions?
|
Right temporal and/or frontal lobe; bilateral amygdala damage can create difficulty in interpreting negative emotions
|
|
|
If a person has trouble interpreting posture and body language cues, which hemisphere is probably damaged?
|
Right
