Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cannon-Bard theory suggests that activity in the hypothalamus and cortex occurs simultaneously, leading to the experience of emotion. This means that both the physiological response and the conscious emotional experience occur at the same time, rather than one causing the other. The theory does not mention the subcortical-medial nucleus basilis, the cerebellum, or the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
