Document Summary
Information that we receive travels different parts of the brain and it is subject to conditioning along the way. Sensory information coming into the brain activating thalamus and hypothalamus - creates a tension in the physiological level. Target regions are activated simultaneously and focus on various attributes of the stimuli. Output - creates emotion or motion away or towards the stimuli. When you reach cortical levels, you start seeing things explicitly - essence of learning and memory. Processing of this information depends upon the emotional content of the information and the stage of individual during the learning process. From moment to moment, you don"t always feel something - but the brain is still working, allows us to go about without making decisions every step of the way. Activation of papez circuit - anterior thalamus, cingulate cortex, hippocampus and hypothalamus. There has to be an integration (plasticity) - association of stimulus. Central system receive information from the ambient world.
