Answer:
The options
A)hippocampus
B)basal ganglia
C)hypothalamus
D)cerebellum
The CORRECT ANSWER IS D)
D)cerebellum
Explanation:
Apart from the coordinating process, the cerebellum is involved in motor learning, emotional behavior, and fear memory.
Fear learning is widely shown in the variation of autonomic and somatic responses, as in heart rate and freezing, promoted by a neutral stimulus which could have been formally grouped with a painful one.
Variation or changes of the vermis influences these responses, and its reversible inactivation in the period of consolidation which is seen to impair fear memory.
The neural correlate of cerebellar activities in fear consolidation is shown by a behaviorally promoted long-term rise of synaptic effectiveness and efficiencies among parallel fibers and a Purkinje cell.
Likely synaptic variations after fear conditioning are well fully observed in the amygdala and hippocampus, suggesting an interplay among emotional circumstances of scenario and the different variations in neural process.
Furthermore, in hotfoot mice, that shows a basic lack of parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse, short- and long-term fear memories are influenced.
All these data gives a foundational background on the concept that the cerebellum is majorly involved in fear learning.
The functional interplay of the vermis with hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus do infer to a more complex activities of the cerebellum as a form of an united network that basically influences emotional behavior.
