What structures is probably not involved in memory amygdala prefrontal cortex hippocampus or medulla?
Medulla
What causes emotions in the brain?
Emotions are caused by complex interactions between various brain regions and neurotransmitters. Different emotions are associated with different patterns of brain activity. For example, the amygdala is involved in fear and anger, while the prefrontal cortex is involved in regulating and expressing emotions. Hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol also play a role in triggering emotional responses.
What part of the brain stimulates emotions such as anger excitement and despondency?
The HYPOTHALAMUS is the one to blame when it comes to being excited and being passionate and aggressive.However, the AMYGDALA is the one in-charge of despondency and fear.
What part of the brain is responsible for feelings?
Feelings and emotions are very complex and there is now one single part of the brain that functions to deal with feelings. Rather, what is involved is a system in the brain that interrelates several brain areas into one system called the limbic system. This is where emotions are processed and memories are stored. The brain areas involved include the amygdala, the thymus, the hippocampus, the cingulate gyrus, and the hypothalamus. Please follow the link(s) below for more information.
What are the two main structures of the hindbrain?
amygdala, cerebral cortex and one other im unaware of
What structures is probably not involved in memory amygdala prefrontal cortex hippocampus or medulla?
Medulla
Does the Hypothalamus contol feelings?
No, the hypothalamus controls the body's temperature and things like that. The Amygdala controls feelings.
What brain structure is involved in creating new explicit memories?
Several structures in the brain are thought to be involved in explicit memory. Most are in the temporal lobe, amygdala, the hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. Nuclei in the thalamus also are included.
Short-term memories appear to be localized in what part of the brain?
Short term memories are localized in the amygdala or the prefrontal lobes
What part of the brain creates fear?
temporal lobe
Which neural center in the limbic system plays a central role in emotions such as aggression and fear?
The amygdala
What are the parts of the limbic system?
Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus This is where the involuntary stuff happens, dilation of pupils, mood changes, anxiety and fear (hair on the back of your neck standing up...). This is sort of the caveman in us. Hope this was helpful. hppt://fitzpatrickconsultation.com
Are stria terminalis considered as projection fibers?
Projection fibers are usually considered as those fibers that connect the cerebral cortex to subcortical structures and vice versa. The stria terminalis connects the amygdala to the hypothalamus - i.e., two subcortical structures. So, on this basis they are not projection fibers. But because they connect subcortical structures they are referred to as 'association fibers'.
What brain structures is most closely associated with the regulation of emotion?
The Amygdala. (your welcome ^.^ )
What is found in the diencephalon?
What you might find in the diencephalon is a lot of neurons. Its name means the second brain and is just below the cortex. The most noteable of its structures would probably be the thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and amygdala, and other structures of the limbic system which is where we process emotions.

Function of the amygdala?
Amygdala is seen to be linked to the orbital frontal cortex, the striatum and thalamus, which are all structures involved in emotional processing. In humans and animals, this amygdala is linked to both fear and pleasure responses. The main function of amygdala is emotional and social processing. It processes and stores memories of emotional events and is also involved in current emotional responses. Researchers also find that the amygdala in men and women respond differently to emotional situations. Basically, the amygdala is your emotional database.
