Neurophysiology of emotion part 3 Flashcards
The anterior cingulate cortex can be functionally divided into 2 regions, what is the ventral region?
Affective component
The anterior cingulate cortex can be functionally divided into 2 regions, what is the dorsal region?
Cognitive component
The ventral region of anterior cingulate cortex is important for regulation of affect, particularly?
Top-down control (controlling our expression of the emotions)
The ventral region of anterior cingulate cortex monitors or detects conflict between?
Our functional state (right now) and new information that has potential or motivational consequences
Example: Masked figure jumps around corner resulting in fear (our functional state) but then you learn its a friend so you have no reason to be scared (new info)
The ventral region of anterior cingulate cortex relays info to the?
Prefrontal cortex
What region of the prefrontal cortex receives input from motor areas such as basal ganglia, cingulate cortex, and cortical association areas?
The dorsolateral region
The dorsolateral region of the prefrontal cortex is primarily related to our?
Motor control
What region of the prefrontal cortex receives input from amygdala, hippocampus, temporal visual association area, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex?
The ventromedial region
Reward processing, integration of bodily signals, and top down regulation are all roles of what?
Ventromedial region
The ventromedial region of the prefrontal cortex is involved in reward processing, which is?
Linking new stimulus to a primary reward, with help from amygdala
The ventromedial region of the prefrontal cortex is involved in integration of bodily signals, which is?
The “gut feeling” decision making when logical analysis can’t help
The ventromedial region of the prefrontal cortex is involved in top down regulation, especially towards?
Delayed gratification
