where is sensory input combined and stored

A

sturtcures of the medial temporal lobe

23
Q

what is the affective response

A

the subjective feeling about a stimulus

24
Q

what structure does the affective response involve

A

the amygdala in the medial temporal lobe

25
Q

what does the affective repsonse do

A

associates the stimulus with positive, negative, or neutral consequences

26
Q

damage to the amygdala results in what

A

inability to have an emotional repsonse to threatening stimuli

27
Q

what does the hippocampus contain

A

place cells to encode location in space, and support navigation

28
Q

what does the superior temporal sulcus do

A

understanding intentions of others

30
