Emotions

In 1927, Walter B. Cannon came up with some objections to James’s theory. These objections were later expanded by Philip Bard (1934). They proposed what is called the Cannon–Bard theory of emotion. They assumed that emotional response arises from the thalamic processes first, then turns to the hypothalamus for emotional expression and to the cerebral cortex for emotional experience, both occur at the same time (Figure 8.1).

Cannon-Bard Theory: Cortical perception is thought to affect emotion and this then leads to secondary physiological changes which in turn further affect emotions. The emotion and physiological effects may occur quite separately and at different times.

According to the Cannon–Bard theory, the thalamus processes the emotion-arousing stimulus and then sends the signals to the cortex, where emotion is consciously experienced, and to the hypothalamus, where physiological changes are activated.

Walter Bradford Cannon (1871–1945) was an American physiologist, professor, and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School until 1942. In 1915, he coined the term “fight or flight” in his 1915 book Bodily Changes in Pain, Hunger, Fear and Rage: An Account of Recent Researches into the Function of Emotional Excitement. Cannon developed the Cannon–Bard theory with physiologist Philip Bard (1898–1977) to try to explain why people feel emotions first and then act on them. He discovered Sympathin E (the excitor factor) and Sympathin I (the inhibitor), now called epinephrine and norepinephrine, and he coined the word “homeostasis.”
