The Role Of Emotion In The Movie Inside Out

It attaches memories to the emotions and senses that occurred when it was happening. Then, it sends memories to be stored. It will then file the memory in the correct part of the cerebral cortex where it will stored in long-term storage, able to be retrieved at any time (Robson). The hippocampus is mainly involved with declarative memory, or memory that can purposefully be recalled, such as facts and events. It is not at all involved with short-term memory or procedural memory, which is memory of how to do certain motor actions. Those functions are usually handled by the cortex and the cerebellum. However, that is not all the functions that the hippocampus is involved with. It is involved with several functions in the body including memory consolidation, emotional responses, navigation, and spatial orientation

Since it is close structurally to the hippocampus, the amygdala is involved in controlling memory consolidation, especially emotional memories; when a memory is emotionally charged, it has a better retention rate than one that is not. The hippocampus is generally seen as having an essential role in the creation of new memories about past experiences; it's even responsible for memories that can be verbalized also known as declarative memory. Damage to it result in difficulties in forming new memories and being able to access new memories formed before the

Hippocampus is a small, curved region, which exists in both hemispheres of the brain and plays a vital role in emotions, learning and acquisition of new information. It also contributes majorly to long term memory, which is permanent information stored in the brain. Although long term memory is the last information that can be forgotten, its impairment has become very common nowadays. The dysfunction is exemplified by many neurological disorders such as amnesia. There are two types of amnesia, anterograde and retrograde. Anterograde amnesia is inability in forming new information, while retrograde refers to the loss of the past memory. As suggested by Cipolotti and Bird (2006), hippocampus’s lesions are

Sadness, Joy, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Five emotions felt by human beings on a regular basis. These five emotions are personified as characters in the movie “Inside Out”. The movie Inside Out is about an 11-year-old girl named Riley who is living a happy life until she moves with her family to San Francisco (Rivera, Docter, del Carmen, 2015). Cognitive, social and linguistic development are all essential parts that contribute to the development of a growing child, such as Riley. The movie displays these types of development in terms of memories, emotions, attention, humor and many other aspects. The purpose of this paper will be to explain why the movie Inside Out (2015) is appropriate for children ages 6 to 12 years of age in terms of their cognitive, social and linguistic development.

The film Inside Out tells the story of a young girl named Riley and her changing emotions after she is forced to move from her home town in Minnesota to San Fransico for her father’s job. The story is told from the perspective of her five emotions. Riley’s emotions are led by Joy, who attempts to guide her through the stressful event. Although Joy puts forth great effort, Sadness takes over. When trying to protect Riley’s core memories from Sadness, Joy is swept from headquarters through the dump tube and Sadness follows. With Joy and Sadness gone, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are the only emotions left in headquarters; therefore, Riley cannot be happy or sad. Because Joy and Sadness are absent, Riley’s personality islands diminish one by one. Riley fights with her family, pushes away from her friends back home, and loses interest in hockey. As Joy and Sadness navigate through Riley’s brain in search of a way back to headquarters, they encounter many obsticles. Back in headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust place the idea of running away into Riley’s head. Joy witnesses the transformation of a sad memory into a happy memory, and finally realizes the importance of all emotions, including Sadness. With the help of Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, Joy and Sadness find their way back to headquarters and are able to stop Riley from running away. An update in headquarters takes place, and more personality islands develop. Joy learns to accept the

The hippocampus is part of the limbic system that controls the emotions and autonomic nervous system. The hippocampus controls long-term and short-term memory. It is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain behind the Amygdala (Hayhurst, 2002). The hippocampus links memory and emotion together,

The hippocampus is the region of the brain which correlated to memories in specific, long term memory. This region forms part of the limbo system which is associated with any type of emotional responses. Therefore the act of making memories and anything related to the memory is in correlations and affected by emotions. In 1957 the memory hypothesis was supported by the removal of a hippocampus which resulted in the loss to make any new memories specifically declarative memories. The declarative memory is the memory of facts and events and can refer back to the stores information that can be consciously recalled.

The hippocampus is a structure in the brain that filters memory and determine which gets placed into long-term memory. It cannot hold memory but it can transfer it to the cerebral cortex. This functions in my daily life by transporting all the significant memories I like to remember such as my birthday or an important event into my cerebral cortex. It also discards all the ones seemingly unimportant such as the due date of this

The hippocampus plays a role in memory, emotions and learning. So when you are playing cards with your friends and the game is new to you, you will have to use your hippocampus to learn the game and keep in your memory how to play it. If one of your friends were to have brought a new person over you would have to memorize the new persons name. If you're socializing and someone begins talking

Without the hippocampus, the information from the short-term memory (STM) cannot be stored in long term memory (LTM). The hippocampus is a very important part of the human brain to store our memories. If we lost it, we will lose all our conscious memories. From Henry’s case, it also discovered that there are multiple memory storage areas located at different parts of the brain while the hippocampus is important to consolidate short-term memory to long-term memory. The removal of hippocampus caused Henry to suffer until he died as he lost the ability to make new conscious

Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.

The hippocampus suffers negative effects from PTSD. One of the most wonderful skill that the brain possess is the ability to remember. An article by the name of “PTSD and the Brain” included the following information, part of the brain known as the hippocampus is associated with the making and recalling of memories. It connects senses like sights, smells, and sounds to memories (“PTSD and the Brain”). Within the brain the hippocampus constantly works to maintain a balanced and fully functioning system. It contains skills that aid in supporting the brain with memories that are positive and negative. In reality, when PTSD affects the hippocampus, it disrupts the natural routines and

Although “concussion” was not the best movie I had ever seen, there were still some parts that attracted me to watch it. It instantly caught my attention when it said that this movie was based on a true story. I feel like movies based on a true story are more relatable and you can picture it better happening then one that is not. To start off the movie A man named Dr. Benetton Omalu is considered one of the best pathologists. He is originally from Nigeria and is very religious. Throughout the movie he feel the need to be the best American he can be. He meets a man by the name of Mike Webster, who Omalu ends up saying changed his life. Mike Webster came into his work place with some severe symptoms, including saying he was hearing things, and he was pulling his own teeth out and gluing them back in. He ends up dying, so Omalu decides he needs to do an autopsy. They know that Webster used to play football and there is no report of concussion which is fairly odd given that football player collide all the time. Omalu wants to preform tests that look at Webster brain closer. His company won't give him funding for it, so he decides it's important enough that he will use his own money, he is sitting at home with a women that is living with him because his church asked him if she could, and he is trying to find anything wrong with the brain. Prema the women living with him throughout the movie encourages dr Omalu to keep doing what he's doing. Prema and Omalu end up getting

Memories do involve interconnected nerve cells that develop strong connections via a process called long-term potentiating on (Morris 2003). Which processes emotions, memories are made using several structures in the brain on a cellular level, including the amygdale, and also which coordinates sensory input with emotions (limbic cortex), and which regulates sensory information and alertness (thalamus) (Rajmohan 2007; Petrovich 2011). However, the hippocampus, located near the middle of the brain, is one of the most important structures for memory (Staniloiu 2012). The hippocampus is thought to serve as a temporary storage space for memories until they can be transferred to other parts of the brain for permanent storage (Nadel 1997; Gräff 2012). Damage to any of these structures can cause amnesia (Deng 2010).

Guilt, power, and vengefulness are only a few examples of what drives our actions. Being born guilty, power-hungry, or craving revenge is not plausible. The need to satisfy those feelings develop because of what influences the individual is under. In the tragedy Macbeth, William Shakespeare flawlessly captures the very embodiment of what makes us human. Nevertheless, it provides the idea that there are forces that can encourage an individual’s actions. The characters Macduff, Macbeth, and Lady Macbeth, all portray this idea.
