Question

question 10 (5 points) the ____ complex is the part of the brain with dense connections with a variety of sensory areas of the brain; it is critical for classical conditioning and attaching emotional value to memory.
○ cerebellum
○ basolateral
○ amygdala
○ hippocampus

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Cerebellum: Mainly for motor control and balance, not for classical conditioning or emotional memory attachment.
• Basolateral: The basolateral complex (of the amygdala) has dense sensory connections, is key for classical conditioning, and attaches emotional value to memories.
• Amygdala (general): The basolateral complex is a part of the amygdala, but the option "amygdala" here is less specific than "basolateral" for this description.
• Hippocampus: Primarily for memory formation (especially episodic) and spatial navigation, not the described functions.

Answer:

B. basolateral
