Q

what is sham rage

A

expression of anger/fear WITHOUT stimulus

26
Q

sham rage is a result of the disconnection of ____ to ____

A

posterior hypothalamus to cerebral cortex

27
Q

the cortex is required for emotional (expression or experience)

A

experience

28
Q

basic circuits for emotional expression are found in which brain structure?

A

1) diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus, olfactory bulbs)

2) brainstem

29
Q

what part of the brain inhibits the posterior hypothalamus (which is responsible for expression of anger/aggression)

A

telencephalon

30
Q

stimulation of medial hypothalamus results in

A

affective aggression

stimulating sympathetic system

31
Q

stimulation of lateral hypothalamus results in

A

predatory aggression (sympathetic system NOT stimulated)

32
Q

pathway medial hypothalamus starting from cortex

A
  1. cortex
  2. amygdala
  3. medial hypothalamus
  4. DLF
  5. PAG
33
Q

pathway lateral hypothalamus starting from cortex

A
  1. cortex
  2. amygdala
  3. lateral hypothalamus
  4. MFB (medial forebrain bundle)
  5. VTA
34
Q

if other regions of hypothalamus are generated (not lateral or medial), what response results?

A

responses characteristic of homeostasis

35
Q

if the hypothalamus is removed, aggression is reduced? T/F

A

False- amygdala

36
Q

amygdala links (a) with (b+c)

A

(a) cortex regions that process sensory info

(b) hypothalamus + BS effector system
(c) cognitive system

37
Q

hypothalamus and BS effector system controlled by amygdala is responsible for what fn?

A

fight or flight

38
Q

cognitive system controlled by by hypothalamus responsible for?

A

combine emotional significance of a sensory stimulus to guide behavior

39
Q

4 major functions of amygdala

A

emotional reactivity
emotional perception
emotional learning
emotional salience

40
Q

results of kluver-bucy syndrome

what parts of brain are removed?

A

remove amygdala, hippocampus, temporal lobes

problems in visual recognition
hypersexuality
dont recognize fear
flattened emotional response

41
Q

what issue with emotional learning do ppl without an amygdala have

A

cant do classical conditioning of fear

42
Q

what is emotional salience

A

expressing appropriate emotional response to stimulus

43
Q
lesion to amygdala....what happens to: 
emotional reactivity
emotional perception 
emotional learning
emotional salience
A

emotional reactivity: kluver-bucy syndrom
emotional perception: cant recognize fear
emotional learning: no classical conditioning in response to fear
emotional salience: emotional response is equal for all stimuli

44
