Document Summary
Colliculus, which mediates the auditory reflexes/sound sensitivity: nerves connect with mgn (conscious processing, auditory radiation axons connect with pac (conscious perceptions) Pheromones: chemicals released by mammals that affect the behaviors of other mammals of the same species. Human pheromones : olfactory sensitivity and synchronized menstrual cycle. Senses: some neurons interact with other regions more than others (heightened senses) Humans are mainly visual communicators (90% non verbal)-this comes from our cortical projections to the prefrontal lobe (hearing) Ls controls expressions of emotion from hypothalamic connections (psychological) Ls mediates perceptions of emotion from cortical connections (psychological/behavioral) Damage to ls (amygdala)- phineas gage and kulver-bucy syndrome. Not all patterns of emotion are the same of ans (heart rate/pupil dilation) Polygraphy (lie detector)-detects indexes of ans emotion (40-90% success rate) Ap creates calcium that is released into muscle fibers. Voluntary movement requires subcortical system of basal ganglia.
