Brain Anatomy and the Limbic System: Principles of Psychophysiology, Slides of Psychology
Explore the principles of psychophysiology with a focus on brain anatomy, particularly the limbic system, amygdala, and medial prefrontal cortex (mpfc). This lecture provides an overview of cortical and subcortical areas involved in emotion processing, including early concepts from papez circuit and maclean's limbic system. Delve into the current views on emotion processing, examining the interplay between cortical and sub-cortical structures, and the roles of the amygdala in processing emotional arousal and the vmpfc in integrating emotional responses. Understand the impact of amygdala damage on social behavior and the effects of vmpfc lesions on decision-making through the iowa gambling task.
