Le’Doux’s Dual Pathway Model
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Studies have shown that there are two pathways through which the amygdala’s fear responses can be triggered: a fast “low road” from the thalamus to the amygdala, and a slower “high road” that passes from the thalamus to the neocortex and only then to the amygdala, said LeDoux.
Detailed explanation-2: -Information about an external stimulus reaches the amygdala by two ways: by a direct pathway from the thalamus and by an indirect pathway from the thalamus via the cortex to the amygdala. The direct pathway is shorter and faster, but therefore provides only a crude representation of the stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the brain receives a sensory stimulus indicating a danger, it is routed first to the thalamus. From there, the information is sent out over two parallel pathways: the thalamo-amygdala pathway (the “short route”) and the thalamo-cortico-amygdala pathway (the “long route”).
Detailed explanation-4: -The major building blocks of the self are the mental trinity of thinking, emotion, and motivation. LeDoux devotes separate chap-ters to each of these components and, in doing so, underscores his view that the mind is much more than a thinking device, as some cognitive scientists would have us be-lieve.
