You should try to answer the following question fully, then explain your answer to another student. There are a number of possible ways you may choose to answer the question. Read the question carefully, then decide on your answer. Determine which input pathway (choose one only) you'll use in your answer. Draw a picture to remind you of that input. Next, choose an output response (one only!), and draw a second picture. This will be your behavioral response. Finally, draw the pathways which connect the areas of the brain necessary to complete your answer (remember that this section of the course centers on the hypothalamus and ANS; it would be a good idea to include these structures in your answer). Label the pathways and brain regions which you include in the diagram. Do not include structures which play no part in your answer!
At this point you have answered the question as it applies to a typical individual. How might that individual's output response (behavior) change if the input pathway became only partly functional? What might cause such a situation to occur?
How would that individual's output response change if one of the brain regions contributing to the output pathway was only partly functional? What might cause such a situation to occur?
