Let me start...
Which of these is responsible for our emotions - thalamus or hypothalamus?
I am getting conflicting results from various books but I am most certain that the thalamus is responsible, because of various lab tests that have proven when the thalamus is stimulated... emotions such as anger are increased in tested animals (Ex.cat)
However, Kaplan says it's the hypothalamus. I know Kaplan is not always correct... but haven't they updated this book like 10 times already? How are they still making mistakes like this?
I'm just confused...
