Models of Affective Disorders Flashcards
What is the Top Down frontal cortex cognitive control?
FC is hub for info from other areas.
It contains goals that control how info is used and is activated when new responses need to be learnt
What is Bottom-up subcortical control?
Ventral Medial FC receives info from Subcortical and uses stored knowledge from posterior brain regions.
Theory thanks to Damiso group-damaged VMFC leads to bad decisions, and patients are aware they are bad decisions.
What is the Reciprocal fronto-temporo-subcortical integration?
Specific information is stored in the FC which is:
Content specific
Informs appropriate behaviour
Where does the concept of frontal disinhibition come from?
Two behavioural reviews of animal legions, Brutkowski and Stanley and Jaynes.
Hierarchy of Galen’s vapours and souls may be source.
What was Maclean triune brain model?
That the brain is ordered via evolution from reptilian brain, paleomammallian brain and neomammalian brain.
As a result, we want to be rational, but the limbic system us the only one that can perceive the world.
Similar to Galen and Renaissance style hierarchy.
What is the alternative model to the hierarchy models of affective disroders?
Subcortical regions provide basis for our emotional states. interacts with Frontal cortex in order to attach value to a goal.
Frontal Cortex: Structures memory of events
Temporal Cortex
Posterior: Social perceptions (Sensory social features)
Anterior: Social functions and abstract understanding of behaviour (greedy)
