Flashcards
0/15
Anger
Amygdala activation; changes in testosterone levels; decreased frontal lobe activity
Guilt
Prefrontal cortex activity; anterior cingulate cortex; insula and amygdala involvement
Love
Increased oxytocin and vasopressin; caudate nucleus and putamen activity; VTA and NAcc involvement
Surprise
Amygdala activation; dopamine system involvement; frontal lobes and parietal cortex
Contentment
Increased prefrontal cortex activity; reduced amygdala activation; serotonin and endorphin release
Trust
Oxytocin release; prefrontal cortex involvement; amygdala modulation
Envy
Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex activation; striatal pathways; prefrontal cortex involvement
Shame
Amygdala activation; prefrontal cortex involvement; anterior cingulate cortex activity
Pride
Prefrontal cortex activation; striatum and NAcc activity; insula involvement
Disgust
Insula activation; basal ganglia involvement; HPA axis response
Jealousy
Anterior cingulate cortex activation; involvement of the prefrontal cortex and amygdala; dopamine pathways
Happiness
Dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin pathways; frontal lobes; nucleus accumbens
Sadness
Decreased activity in the frontal lobes; increased amygdala activity; cortisol release
Fear
Amygdala activation; HPA axis involvement; sympathetic nervous system arousal
Embarrassment
Prefrontal cortex and ACC activity; amygdala modulation; somatosensory cortex involvement
