27
Q

what perceives and gives attention to positive and negative emotional intensity?

A

amygdala

28
Q

what mediates the effect of the amygdala on the cortex and memory consolidation?

A

basal forebrain mediates ascending projections from amygdala

29
Q

where do the efferent projects of the amygdala go to?

A

visual cortex to shape visual perception

30
Q

what do amygdal descending projectons go through?

A

hypothalamus and brain stem.

31
Q

anxiety, learned and innate fear expression are mediated by what?

A

amygdala:central nucleus

32
Q

what type of visceral responses are mediated by amyddala?

A

increased heart rate, dry mouth, ulcers, respiration, vigilance, urination etc.

33
Q

what will amygdala respond mostly to, fear face on someone or anger, Why?

A

Fear face because of ambiguity, doesn’t know how dangerous the fear could be but is sure about anger.

34
Q

how does amygdala maintain vigilance?

A

activation of basal foregrain nuclei, Ach, to activate cortex. It filters out irrelevant information

35
Q

what area of the brain is assocated with pavlovian conditoning?

A

amygdala..acquisition of conditioned fear

36
Q

what keeps amygdala from overreacting to something scary?

A

other cortical areas, hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex helps bring things into contex

37
Q

amygdal gets info from what areas so it can find out signifigance of emotional info?

A

Medial PFC, cingulate, insula, hippo, sinsory assocation and limbic cortices

38
Q

after amygdala gets info what does it do?

A

consodidate memory, especially fear then send it back to hippo and Medial PFC.

39
Q

when we have a memory that makes us feel fear again what has happened?

A

amygdal has stimulated hypothalamus and brain stem for learend emotional responses.

40
Q

how does hippocampus effects amygdal when it sees something scary?

A

gives context like its only a movie, or in a cage

41
Q

what mitigates the amydalas respones to something emotional?

A

the medial prefrontal cortex.

42
Q

the two areas that keep the amygdala in check when scared by a snake is?

A

medial prefrontal cortex mediates response and hippocampus that gives context

43
Q

are cues and context processed via the same path?

A

no, there are different paths for context and cues.

44
Q

what is essential for understanding meaning of cues?

A

context processing, hippocampus

45
Q

what are the cue processing areas?

A

amygdala, sensory cortices, posterior insula, parietal and temporail association areas

46
Q

What aore the contex processing areas?

A

ventromedial prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, anterior insula, anterior congulate cortex

47
Q

what is pulvinar nucleus of thalamus a part of?

A

subconcious pathway, blindsight.

48
Q

how are emotial memorys formed?

A

processed in sensory systems, then to hippocampus, to make declaritive memory about emotiona and to amygdala for emotional memory

49
Q

what are memories about emoitons?

A

emotional arrousal forming sematic and episodic memories about it, cognitive representations of emotion

50
Q

how do get to emotional memory?

A

event to sensory system to inplicit memory system, amygdala

51
Q

how to get to memory about emotion?

A

event to sensory system to explicit memory in the medial temporal lobe.

52
Q

what is extention of conditioned fear due to?

A

vmprefrontal cortex inhibiting the amygdala

53
Q

can conditioned fear be eliminated?

A

no, its still there just supressed

54
Q

what is the vmPFC and fear extention importaint for?

A

for adaptation to new situations, so you should be able to switch behaviors.

55
Q

what is emotional perservation?

A

where you can’t change your behaviors, failure in extentions. Maladaptive.

56
Q

what does high NE and Da in response to stress to the PFC and amygdala?

A

Impairs PFC working memory and attention but stimulates amygdala fear condtion leading to anxitey

57
Q

amygdala bias is what?

A

towards habitual motor responding

58
Q

what biases us tword flexible shifting of attention based on context?

A

medial PFC and hippocampus

59
Q

Does the Amygdal have Slow thoughtful regulation or rapid emotional responses?

A

Amygdala = rapid and emotional and PFC = slow and thoughtful

60
Q

what can explain angry emotinal drunks?

A

alcohol knocks out PFC

61
Q

what neurtransmitter enhances amygdal reactivity and specificity?

A

NE

62
Q

what can reduce tendency to anxitedy?

A

propanolol , B adrenergic antagonist. Not scared of emotinal faces

63
Q

What does vmPFC lesion cause?

A

can’t plan ahead, recognize consequences, inhibit amygdala emotions

64
Q

what happens with amydgala lesions?

A

cant link past experiences to stimul with behavioral consequences, cant recognize facial expressions, less fear/anxiety, less aggression, in appropriate sexual behavior.

65
Q

what is tactile agnosia?

A

loss of association cortical input means can recognize objects because they have no emotinal meaning.

66
Q

what does amygdal do with personal space?

A

without one you need less personal space. It governs personal space preference. Has to do with percieved threats
