Considering complete, complex behaviors, it should be obvious that the emotional systems we discussed in lectures would involve many of what we have defined as “cortical modules”. Remember that the limbic regions that we discussed in the first “Emotional systems I” lecture are examples of cortical components of individual cortical modules. I gave an example in the subsequent lecture of the role of the cortical amygdalo-striato-pallidal module in learned RAGE and FEAR behavior (ie. “object conditioning”). (4 pts) Choose one of the remaining systems we discussed (ie. LUST or CARE) and discuss how other limbic regions might be involved in behaviors mediated by these two systems. (4 pts) In your discussion, include your ideas about how the SEEKING system would play a role.
