What will be an ideal response?


A conditioned emotional response is a classically conditioned response in which a novel stimulus comes to elicit components of an emotional reaction after prior pairing with an emotionally relevant stimulus. These conditioned emotional responses can be used to study the brain areas responsible for these responses. Lesions can help elucidate the functions of different brain areas related to these responses.
