Brain Areas Flashcards
Default mode
mPFC, posterior cingulate, parietal cortices
Self reflective thinking
medial PFC
embodiment
insula, tempoparietal junction
head movements and eye gaze match.
STS
body language
extrastriate body area
Emotional face and body
temp lobe with STS (amyg insulla and limbic system)
perception of biological motion
STS
subliminal perception of African-American faces?
Subliminal – automatic amygdala response, Supraliminal – consciously controlled response in the ACC, VLPFC, and DLPFC
Trustworthy faces
untrustworthy is insula, trustworthy is mPFC orbitofrontal and caudate.
executive control
PFC
abulia
lateral PFC
disinhibition syndrome
v/m PFC
perservattion
lateral PFC
tower of london mental models
left DLPFC, frontopoloar
rule selective behaviour
lateral PFC
social rejection
DACC
abstract information from different sources must be integrated.
frontopolar
Cracker, union, and rabbit all relate to the word ‘jack’. What area of the brain is activated when you make that realization?
anterior temporal lobe
s active when people make decisions that run counter to the framing effect.
DMPFC
What hormone is related to trusting? What brain area becomes activated in trust situations?
oxytocin, caudate nucleus
What dopamine systems are related to decision-making?
Mesocortical pathway, Mesolimbic pathway
Connects low-level attentional signals to high-level motor outputs. ___ activity changes as a function of the changing relative value of possible actions.
lateral intraparietal area LIP
is associated with willingness to pay…or to later trade monetary rewards for social rewards. Coke drinkers showed more activation when Coke was given; Pepsi drinkers showed more Pepsi-dependent activity. Suggests that areas related to reward-outcome analyses can be modulated by a priori behavioural preferences.
VMPFC
fired monotonically with increasing or decreasing numbers of dots. Had no experimental training with numbers.
LIP
Steve loves diet Pepsi. When he tastes diet Pepsi, he thinks, “Mmmm…I love diet Pepsi almost as much as I love teaching cognitive neuroscience.” What would McClure and colleagues (2004) suggest is going on when Steve tastes diet Pepsi and when he tastes diet Coke?
VMPFC
analysis of risk
anterior insula, DMPFC, posteriror parietal cortex
bad scores on iowa gambling task
VPFC damage
inductive
deductive reasoning
IR: DLPFC
DR: inferior PFC
