Study Notes
Emotion and Language in Neuroscience
- Operant conditioning, a form of learning, involves behavior modification by consequences such as reinforcement, punishment, and extinction.
- Emotions are expressed through the emotional motor system involving visceral and somatic motor responses, with the limbic system playing a critical role.
- Philip Bard's research on cats demonstrated that the hypothalamus is crucial for emotional responses, as removal of the cerebral cortex led to "sham rage."
- "Uninhibited hypothalamic discharge" in humans can be caused by hypothalamic lesions, carbon monoxide poisoning, or hypoglycemia.
- The experience of emotion may depend on the cerebral cortex, while the expression of emotion relies on the connection between the hypothalamus and brainstem.
- Duchenne de Boulogne distinguished between contrived, voluntary smiles and spontaneous, emotional smiles, each associated with different neural pathways.
- The limbic lobe, identified by Paul Broca, includes the cingulate gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus, forming the modern conception of the limbic system.
- The revised concept of the forebrain circuit includes the amygdala, parts of the orbital and medial prefrontal cortex, ventral parts of the basal ganglia, and the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus.
- The amygdala plays a role in linking cortical sensory regions with the hypothalamus and brainstem, with three major functional and anatomical subdivisions.
- Patient S.M., with Urbach-Wiethe disease affecting the amygdala, cannot recognize fear in photographs and does not experience fear in encounters with snakes, spiders, or scary situations.
- Language comprehension and production depend on specialized areas in the association cortices of the left temporal, parietal, and frontal lobes.
- Broca's area in the frontal cortex is involved in language production, while Wernicke's area is crucial for language comprehension, with distinct aphasia symptoms associated with damage to each area.
