Emotion

Emotional response • Emotions are physiological responses to a salient environmental situation • Autonomic arousal - objective • Hormones • Energy • Behavioral/action - objective • Motivation • Feelings - subjective

Theories explaining subjective feelings • James-Lange • Cannon-Bard • Schacter-Singer • How does the facial feedback hypothesis relate to these theories?

Basic emotions • Are the eight basic emotions universal? • Are they learned or innate? • How does culture affect emotional expression?

Communicating emotions • How is emotion communicated? • Why do we express emotions? • When do we express emotions? • How do we recognize emotions?

Neural circuitry of pleasure • Medial forebrain bundle (MFB) • Cell bodies in: • Axon terminals in: • Releases: • What happens when the MFB is stimulated? • When is the MFB naturally active? • Reward • Laughter

Neural circuitry of fear • Amygdala is central to fear processing • Located in: • Receives input from: • ___________________ • Function: • What is Kluver-Bucy syndrome? oa r h d g road Low Hi

Fear conditioning • Classical conditioning • CS: • US: • Response: • Long-term potentiation in the amygdala • Weak signal: • Releases a little glutamate • Strong signal: • Strongly depolarizes the postsynaptic cell • After repeated pairing of CS and US: FOOTSHOCK tone TONE

Aggression • Define aggression • Aggressive behaviors are species-specific

Neural correlates of aggression • Aggression • Amygdala • Medial preoptic area • Testosterone • Periaqueductal gray • Emotional regulation • Prefrontal cortex • Serotonin • What is decorticate rage? • What is psychopathy?

Stress • Define stress • General adaptation syndrome • Alarm reaction • Adaptation state • Exhaustion

Response to stress • Individuals vary in their response to stress • Genetic differences • Perception of stress • Stress immunization

Stress and leaning • How does stress affect learning? • How does stress influence the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder? • How might PTSD be prevented?
