7) Our "stop" switch is located in:
a. Ventral tegmental area
b. Hypothalamus
c. Amygdala *not right, i chose that one
d. Prefrontal cortex
8)Nucleus Accumbens increases behaviors by:
a. recalling implicit memories
b. activating our prefrontal cortex
c. activating our survival circuitry *not right
d. a and c are correct
7. d. Prefrontal cortex
Explanation Similar way in human body quick response is responsinlity of three precise parts of the brain that work together to stop body movements in an emergency scenario: the dorsal and ventral parts of the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, and the bilateral frontal eye fields.

8. a. Recalling implicit memories.
Explanation: The nucleus accumbens present at preoptic area of hypothalamus, is primary site mediating reward behavior, and it is thought to be directly involved in reinforcing and addictive behaviors.Dopamine neuromodulators (along with other types of neurons) in ventral tegmental area (VTA) are activated during both rewarding and aversive moments. Dopamine signaling may be involved with storing information about environmental stimuli associated with these positive and negative experiences. These memory stores can be called upon in the future. It helps to realize the pleasurable experiences again or avoid the aversive ones. Implicit memory : is subdivision of the long term memory that is acquired and used unconsciously, and can affect thoughts and behaviours. |
