l21 The Anatomy of Memory and Emotion Flashcards
what part of the brain helps you remember events
Hippocampus - in the temporal lobe
what network is the hippocampus a pert of
Mammillary bodies
Anterior thalamus
episodic memory helps with remembering
events
what forms the hippocampus
the parahippocampul gyrus
the amygdala
what does the hippocampus connect to the cortex via
parahippocampul gyrus
if the amygdala is active
much more likely to remember event
what is semantic memory
remembering concepts and facts
semantic memory lobes
inferior and anterior temporal lobes
past the foramen magnum
dorsal-superior
ventral-inferior
function of the ventral visual stream
for identifying the objects shape, colour …
function and location of the ventrolateral cortex
above the eyes/sinus
bottom part of the frontal lobe- there is a medial and lateral part
selecting memories, behaviours and thoughts based on that context
what part of the brain is involved in emotion
The amygdala
what is the venterolateral frontal cortex involved in with emotion
external context to do with emotion- ie crocodile approaching a zoo keeper compared to someone normal- u have learned not to be too scared
what is the ventromed. frontal involved in with emotion
Internal factors
what is the function of the insula
visceral sensation to do with gut organs
also disgust
what else is involved with the venterolateral frontal cortex
the hippocampus
as you can recollect memories specific to the event - (ie of the crocodile)
which cortex does the amygdala project onto
the sensory cortex
why does the amygdala project to the cholinergic nuclei
keeps the cortex awake and alert
what 2 areas of the brain are connected to the ventromedial frontal lobes
the ventral tegmentum
&
the nucleus accumbens
what is the function of the
the nucleus accumbens
it’s the reward system
ventral tegmentum
learning reward as well as classical conditioning, to modulate experience of emotion
