Lecture 12-emotions Flashcards
two types of emotion
emotional response (expression) emotional experience
which parts does emotional response involve
Somatic Motor system
visceral motor system (ANS)
secretary hypothalamus
what brain structure does emotional experience involve
Cortex
right M1 lesion results in
voluntary- asymmetrical smile
involuntary- symmetrical smile
left cingulate lesion
voluntary- symmetrical smile
involuntary- asymmetrical smile
what pathways do voluntary movements involve?
from?
nuerons?
descending pyramidal and apyrammidal
from: motor cortex and BS
nuerons: motor neurons
what pathways do non-voluntary movements involve
from?
nuerons?
descending pyramidal
from: ventro-medial forebrain and hypothalamus
neurons: autonomic preganglionic neurons
3 components of expression and experience of emotion
- limbic system
- ventral straitum
- prefrontal cortex
fn of limbic system
emotions and forming memories related to those emotions
fn of ventral straitum
pleasure and reward
fn of prefrontal cortex
cognitive control of emotion
regulation of emotion
which brain structures are part of the limbic system
amygdala
insula
anterior cingulate cortex
hypothalamus
fn of amygdala in emotion
emotional intensity
importance of emotion experience + response
fear
fn of insula in emotion
emotional/autonomic connection
disgust
bodily experience of emotion
fn of ACC in emotion
attn
motivation
conscious subjective emotional experience
fn of hypothalamus in emotion
emotional expression (i.e. inc HR + BP…face flushing)
cortices involved in prefrontal cortex control of emotion
orbitofrontal cortex
ventromedial prefrontal cortex
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
fn of orbitofrontal cortex
reward and punishment
fn of ventromedial prefrontal cortex
postive and negative affective states (sadnes, happines)
fn of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
acting on feelings
interaction of cognitive and emotional processing
what two structures make up the limbic lobe (hint: they are both gyri)
cingulate gyrus
parahippocampal gyrus
Papez circuit FN
connect cortex with hypothalamus
Papez circuit pathway
- mammillary bodies
- anterior thalamic nucleus
- cingulate gyrus
- hippocampus via fornix
- hypothalamus
limbic system includes?
papez circuit +
- orbital and prefrontal cortices
- amygdala
- mediodorsal thalamic nucleus
- ventral parts of Basal ganglia
