CHAPTER

The Role of the Pulvenor Nucleus in the Emotional Cognitive Brain

The amygdala has been traditionally associated with learning negative value. But it's providing important contributions to all of the functions that we need to be aware of and think of its contributions to processes of arousal and vigilance, novelty detection or attention in general. And another key chapter in the emotional cognitive brain is the one about effective visual perception. Here you challenge the standard hypothesis that there's a low road that allows visual inputs to go past the cortex. We're going to take a short break and talk some about the pulvenor nucleus of the thalamus and how it connects to the amygdala and the rest of the brain.
