Autonomic component
-
This component reinforces the autonomic responses. Epinephrine/norepinephrine release by the adrenal glands.
Hormonal component
-
The grand central station of emotional response patterns
Amygdala
-
The integration of overt behaviors, autonomic responses, and hormonal secretions are controlled by...
the amygdala
-
The amygdala consists of several pairs of what, that each have different inputs and outputs and different functions.
Nuclei
-
This is part of the limbic system
Amygdala
-
Sensory input from the lateral/basolateral nuclei and projects that information to the hypothalamus, mid brain, pons, and medulla region.
Central nucleus
-
Responsible for the expression of the various components of emotional responses.
Central nucleus
-
Expression of emotional responses are provoked by what?
Aversive stimuli
-
Damage to this reduces or abolishes many emotional behaviors and physical responses, decreased fear response.
Central nucleus
-
Chronic stimulation of the central nucleus produces what?
Stress induced illness
-
This is important to aversive emotional learning and conditioned emotional responses (Pavlov)
Central amygdala
-
When a neutral stimulus is paired with an emotion-producing stimulus until neutral stimulus produces a response.
Conditioned emotional responses
