Antibodies are manufactured by a class of lymphocytes called
B cells
Microglia are phagocytes of the
CNS
Which of the following psychologists is well known for his research on facial expression?
Ekman
The concept of a generalized stress response was developed by
Hans Selye.
he first major physiological theory of emotions was independently proposed in 1884 by James and
Lange
Each amygdala is
a cluster of many nuclei.
Ronda was threatened by a robber so she kicked him. Her response is an example of
a defense attack
The immune system has two components: the innate immune system and the __________ immune system.
adaptive
Which of the following is not a symptom of the Kluver-Bucy syndrome?
agression
Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower sniper, had a tumor in his
amygdala
The Kluver-Bucy syndrome appears to result, to a large degree, from bilateral damage to the AND The structure in which the emotional significance of sensory signals is learned and retained is believed to be the AND Bilateral lesions to either the medial geniculate nucleus or the __________ block auditory fear conditioning.
amygdala
The polygraph does not detect lies, it detects
arousal
Lesions to which brain structure in rats disrupt auditory fear conditioning to complex sounds but not simple sounds?
auditory cortex
During a sequence of predatory attacks on a frog or a mouse, a rat's target site is almost always the
back of the neck.
In the rat, the target site for social aggression is the
back, near the base of the tail.
Urbach-Wiethe disease is associated with
bilateral calcification of the amygdala
"limbic" means
border
An important advance in the study of the physiology of stress came with the discovery in the 1990s that stress triggers the release of __________, which play a role in inflammation and fever.
cytokines.
In rats, boxing is
defense (or both A & B)
An important feature of social aggression that distinguishes it from other forms of aggression in many mammalian species is that it is
dependent on testosterone.
Each facial expression __________ on the left side of the face.
develops sooner
According to the James-Lange theory, different emotional stimuli induce __________ patterns of autonomic nervous system activity.
different
The James-Lange and Cannon-Bard theories make __________ predictions about the effects of feedback from somatic and autonomic activity on emotional experience.
different
The true smile, which involves the orbicularis oculi, has been termed the
duchenne smile.
A mirror-like system is thought to be the neural mechanism of
empathy
Stress that improves health has been termed
eustress
The theory that facial expressions can influence emotional experience is called the
facial feedback hypothesis.
H. pylori has been implicated as a causal factor in
gastric ulcers
The most commonly employed physiological measure of stress is the level of circulating
glucocorticoids.
) Lesions to which structure specifically block the conditioning of fear to a context?
hippocampus
Which neural structure has a particularly dense population of glucocorticoid receptors?
hippocampus
The amygdala is thought to activate the appropriate sympathetic and behavioral responses to threat via the __________, respectively
hypothalamus and PAG
Papez believed that emotional states were expressed through the action of the other structures of the limbic system on the
hypothalmus
The Duchenne smile
involves the orbicularis oculi
Evidence suggests that only one part of the amygdala plays a major role in fear conditioning. This part is the
lateral nucleus.
Polygraphy is commonly referred to as
lie detection
Papez attributed emotion to activity in what became known as the
limbic system
Which of the following is not one of Ekman and Friesen's primary emotional expressions?
lust
Each T cell has two kinds of receptors on its membrane: one for molecules normally found on the surface of __________ and one for a specific __________.
macrophages; antigen
In most mammalian species, social aggression usually occurs between
male conspecifics
The true expressions that momentarily break through false expressions are called
microexpressions
Because it is difficult to determine for certain whether a person who has been accused of breaking the law is innocent or guilty, many studies of lie detection use the
mock crime procedure
Pellis and his colleagues found that giving cats an antianxiety drug tended to increase the efficiency of their
mouse killing
According to the Cannon-Bard theory, the feeling of emotion by the cortex and the expression of emotion by the autonomic and somatic nervous systems are
parallel processes
The human amygdala seems to be specifically involved in the
perception of fear in others.
Body cues, in addition to facial expression, play a particularly important role in signaling
pride
The field that focuses on the effect of stress on immune function is called
psychoneuroimmunology.
Studies of the septal aggression phenomenon in rats suggest that it would be more appropriate to refer to it as
septal defensiveness
Decorticate cats display
sham rage
Which of the following is testosterone dependent in mice and many other mammalian species?
social aggression
In rats, lateral attack is a component of
social agression
The adult neurogenesis of hippocampal cells is reduced by
stress
The adrenal cortex was identified by Selye as important in the stress response; today's theories also acknowledge the important contribution of the
sympathetic nervous system.
Stress disrupts the performance of
tasks mediated by the hippocampus
The limbic system rings the
thalamus
According to the Cannon-Bard theory, different emotional stimuli induce __________ patterns of autonomic nervous system activity.
the same
Fear is the emotional reaction to
threat
The results of a study by Pellis and his colleagues suggest that cats that appear to be playing with mice are, in fact,
vacillating between attack and defense.
