1. Functions @ subconscious level
2. Primary influence by hypothalamus.
3. Perceives internal environment, processes information, regulates the internal environment.
4. Motor center of sympathetic portion of ANS – motor center in posterior hypothalamus.
5. Chief commander of motor portion of parasympathetic – anterior hypothalamus.
6. Infrasound/music (electromagnetic waves) can cause action potential in ANS.
1. Exerts primary integrative influence on ANS.
2. Posterior hypothalamus – motor center for sympathetic portion.
3. Chief commander of motor portion of parasympathetic – anterior hypothalamus.
4. UEC/UET communicated thru limbic/hypothalamus axis.
5. Relays messages for limbic system/ANS to mind/body.
1. Several structures in limbic system have strong regulatory influence on ANS.
2. Unresolved emotional conflicts and trauma (UEC/UET) can remain constantly active in limbic system (part of unconscious mind)
3. UEC/UET are communicated thru limbic/hypothalamic axis.
4. Reaction to stress is limbic brain function.
5. Limbic system is seat of emotion.
6. Directly stimulated via olfactory bulb – sense of smell.
7. A biofeedback information and control center.
8. Alpha/Theta state evokes emotional response in limbic system.
9. Most primary portion of the brain.
