Behavior and its Functional Supply

Emotional experience

Nervous structures and emotional reactions Areas of the brain that play an important role in the production of emotions include the reticular formation, the limbic system, and the cerebral cortex. Nervous structures and emotional reactions

The reticular formation The reticular formation, within the brain stem, receives and filters sensory information before passing it on the limbic system and cortex. The reticular formation

The limbic system The limbic system includes the hypothalamus, which produces most of the peripheral responses to emotion through its control of the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems; the amygdala, the hippocampus; and parts of the thalamus. The frontal lobes of the cerebral cortex receive nerve impulses from the thalamus and play an active role in the experience and expression of emotions.

The brain and emotional learning The amygdala, a structure of the limbic system (the behavioral center of the brain) located near the brainstem, is thought to be responsible for emotional learning and emotional memory. Studies have shown that damage to the amygdala can impair the ability to judge fear and other emotions in facial expressions (to “read” the emotions of others), a skill which is critical to effective social interaction. The amygdala serves as an emotional scrapbook that the brain refers to in interpreting and reacting to new experiences. It is also associated with emotional arousal.

The prefrontal cortex The ability to understand the thoughts and feelings of others is also regulated by the prefrontal cortex of the brain, sometimes called “the executive center.” This brain structure and its components store emotional memories that an individual draws on when interacting socially. Research studies have demonstrated that individuals with brain lesions in the prefrontal cortex area have difficulties in social interactions and problem-solving and tend to make poor choices, probably because they have lost the ability to access past experiences and emotions.

The physiological changes associated with emotions While the physiological changes associated with emotions are triggered by the brain, they are carried out by the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems. In response to fear or anger, for example, the brain signals the pituitary gland to release a hormone called ACTH, which in turn causes the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol, another hormone that triggers what is known as the fight-or-flight response, a combination of physical changes that prepare the body for action in dangerous situations.

The autonomic response to emotional excitation The heart beats faster, respiration is more rapid, the liver releases glucose into the bloodstream to supply added energy, fuels are mobilized from the body’s stored fat, and the body generally goes into a state of high arousal. The pupils dilate, perspiration increases while secretion of saliva and mucous decreases, hairs on the body become erect, causing “goose pimples,” and the digestive system slows down as blood is diverted to the brain and skeletal muscles. These changes are carried out with the aid of the sympathetic nervous system, one of two divisions of the autonomic nervous system. When the crisis is over, the parasympathetic nervous system, which conserves the body’s energy and resources, returns things to their normal state.
