Emotional Brain
This part of the limbic system regulates emotions.
What is the amygdala?
This part of the brain forms memories
This system is linked to the endocrine system.
What is the nervous system?
The prefrontal cortex regulates these in respect to social context.
What are emotions and decision-making?
This neurotransmitter is connected to our fight-flight-freeze responses.
This is the process in which the amygdala associates a neutral stimulus with a fearful response
What is fear conditioning?
The hippocampus particularly stores memories based on this.
What are emotional experiences?
Bodily functions associated with these kinds of responses are regulated by the hypothalamus.
What are emotional responses?
The prefrontal cortex is needed for emotional regulation and this.
What is impulse control?
This part of the brain is associated with reward-based learning and habits.
What is the insula?
The brain structure that works with the amygdala for memory formation
What is the hippocampus?
The hippocampus works with this other part to process emotions and form memories.
What is the amygdala?
The thalamus takes up this role to send sensory information out to other systems/areas of the brain.
What is a relay station?
The cingulate cortex is associated with these two kinds of processing.
What are emotional and cognitive processing?
This type of appraisal is involved with emotions alonside sensory input and memory.
What is cognitive appraisal?
These emotions are the ones that the amygdala respond to.
This is where the hippocampus is located in the brain.
What is the temporal lobe?
This kind of input is recieved by the thalamus.
What is sensory input?
This cortex is important for conflict resolution.
What is the cingulate cortex?
This kind of neurotransmitter is associated with memory.
What is glutamate?
Heart rate and respiration are these kinds of responses.
What is autonomic?
This type of memory is the reason the hippocampus is essential.
What is episodic memory?
The hypothalamus regulates these functions associated with emotional responses.
What are bodily functions?
The cingulate gyrus is associated with this type of expression.
What is language expression?
These chemicals play crucial roles in regulating mood and emotions.
What are neurotransmitters?
