Understanding Emotion What is an emotion? Behavior Social Interaction Feelings Definition 1 A natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others Definition 2 Neurobiologists and psychologists alike have conceptualized an emotion as a concerted, generally adaptive, phasic change in multiple physiological systems (including both somatic and neural components) in response to the value of a stimulus
Understanding Emotion (cont.) Emotions not limited to humans Neurochemical coding Fear and the Amygdala
Fear Algorithm-ized
Fear Algorithm-ized Emotions involve primitive circuits
Fear Algorithm-ized Emotions involve primitive circuits Cognitive circuits can work independently from emotional circuits
Fear Algorithm-ized Emotions involve primitive circuits Cognitive circuits can work independently from emotional circuits Emotional memories are somewhat different from other kinds of memory
Fear Algorithm-ized Emotions involve primitive circuits Cognitive circuits can work independently from emotional circuits Emotional memories are somewhat different from other kinds of memory Two parallel routes of emotional processing of a stimulus. Thalamic-Amygdala pathway (speed of fear) Cortical-Amygdala pathway (modulates)

Thalamic-Amygdala pathway (speed of fear) Cortical-Amygdala pathway (modulates) There are two physically separate inputs to an emotional (evaluation) system Simple stimuli Complex stimuli
