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: -Example: You’re at a concert and the headliner pulls out a surprise artist; you instinctively freak out. Example: A family is surprised by a family returning from military service. Example: You are excited about a vacation that is coming up in the spring.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fast pathway (or low road) goes to the amygdalae and allows for a quick and dirty emotional response to stimuli. The slow pathway (or high road) involves areas of the cortex for a higher-resolution interpretation of the stimulus and assessment of the appropriate response.
Detailed explanation-4: -Neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux (2002) conceptualized the implicit and explicit aspects of the self. The aspect of the self that you are consciously aware of is the explicit self while the one that is not immediately available to the consciousness is the implicit aspect.
