PTSD is solely caused by genetic factors unrelated to the amygdala.

The amygdala has no role in emotional processing during trauma.

How can repeated emotional trauma impact the Limbic System?

Repeated emotional trauma can dysregulate the limbic system, leading to heightened anxiety, depression, and altered emotional processing.

It improves memory and cognitive function.

In the Limbic System, we find the Hippocampus. What is the Hippocampus responsible for?

The Hippocampus is responsible for memory formation.

The Hippocampus controls motor skills.

The Hippocampus regulates emotions.

The Hippocampus is involved in visual processing.

The case study of Henry Molaison is a foundational example of the effect of a lobectomy, which included the removal of most of his hippocampus . What were the long-term effects of his procedure?

Long-term effects included severe anterograde amnesia and inability to form new long-term memories.

Enhanced cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills.

Increased emotional stability and social interactions.

Improved memory retention and ability to recall past events.

In the Limbic System, we find the Hypothalamus. What is the Hypothalamus responsible for?

Regulating autonomic functions (body temp., hunger, thirst, sleep) and hormone production.

Controlling visual and auditory processing.

Producing digestive enzymes and bile.

Regulating muscle movement and coordination.

In the Limbic System, we find the Thalamus. What is the Thalamus responsible for?

The Thalamus is responsible for relaying sensory information to the brain.

The Thalamus controls motor functions directly.

The Thalamus regulates emotions and memory.

The Thalamus produces hormones for growth.

What is the responsibility of Reticular Formation?

Carries messages between parts of the brain stem.

Processes visual and auditory information.

Controls motor functions and coordination.

Regulates heart rate and blood pressure.

(T/F) Everyone who has repeated brain injuries develops CTE .

CTE is guaranteed after one brain injury

Everyone with brain injuries develops CTE

The case of Phineas Gage is a pivotal 19th-century medical case demonstrating how brain injury affects personality and behavior; the iron rod destroyed part of his Prefrontal Cortex. What were the long-term effects of his brain injury?

Impulsivity, personality changes, and social inappropriateness.

Increased intelligence and creativity

Enhanced social skills and empathy

Complete recovery with no personality changes

In cases of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), we observe Tau build up in the brain. What impact does Tau have on the brain?

Tau buildup in the brain leads to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.

Tau accumulation protects neurons from damage.

Tau buildup enhances cognitive function.

Tau is responsible for increased brain plasticity.

What happens to our brain cells when they are not in communication with each other? Think of Tau!

Brain cells may degenerate and not regenerate.

Tau proteins enhance communication between cells.

Brain cells become more efficient in isolation.

Brain cells thrive and grow stronger.
