Which neural pathway carries crude information about a threatening stimulus and activates a rapid instinctual alarm response?
a.the thalamushypothalamusvisual cortex pathway
b.the thalamusamygdala pathway
c.the cerebral cortexthalamusamygdala pathway
d.the thalamusvisual cortex pathway?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is

B. the thalamus→amygdala pathway

The neural pathway carries crude information about a threatening stimulus and activates a rapid instinctual alarm response is the thalamus→amygdala pathway

The thalamus→amygdala pathway is also known as the the path of fear. The thalamus transfers signal to other parts of the brain that causes the release of adrenaline and stress hormones.
