Cognitive and emotional functions of the teleost fish cerebellum.
Increasing experimental and neuropsychological evidence indicates that the cerebellum of humans and other mammals, traditionally associated with motor control, is implicated in a variety of cognitive and emotional functions.
For example, the cerebellum has been identified as an essential structure in different learning processes, ranging from simple forms of associative, sensory-motor learning and emotional conditioning, to more complex, higher-order processes such as spatial cognition.
In this work, we analyzed the involvement of the teleost fish cerebellum on classical conditioning of motor and emotional responses and on spatial cognition.
Cerebellum lesions in goldfish impair the classical conditioning of a simple eye-retraction response analogous to the eyeblink conditioning described in mammals.
Single unit extracellular electrophysiological recording and cytochrome oxidase histochemistry also reveal the involvement of the teleost fish cerebellum in classical conditioning.
Autonomic emotional responses (e.g., heart rate classical conditioning) are also impaired by cerebellum lesions in goldfish.

How's your emotional health? A positive attitude may be the key to total wellness By DOROTHY SCHNEIDER.
'Having a positive outlook is crucial to being well, ' said Robert Fish, director of pastoral care at University Place retirement community in West Lafayette.
Fish led a seminar on emotional wellness last week at University Place, as part of a series being offered to address the total health spectrum.
Dozens attended and heard Fish's advice on how to achieve better health through personal connections, a sense of humor, forgiveness and a hunger for life.
'Apart from one's religious perspective, I believe (a positive outlook) is a basic choice that a person has to make at all times, ' Fish said.
'Humor is a real valuable tool when it comes to emotional health, ' Potuck said.
'Life's too short not to have some fun.' 'Obviously when your emotional health suffers, your physical health is going to suffer.
He said it's important sometimes to 'be a little selfish' and take time for yourself.
Cliff Swensen, a resident at University Place and a retired psychology professor from Purdue University, offered his thoughts on emotional wellness as part of Fish's presentation.

Saturday, January 28, 2006 Emotional Connectedness Last night I had my first studio class with my voice teacher and some of his other students, and I came out of it emotionally renewed in a way I hadn't been in months..
I find music (especially singing) in general to be emotionally uplifting, but my emotional response to last night’s class was not merely because I and the other students were performing beautiful songs.
In our feedback on each others’ performances, we really focused in on discussing how each of us could strengthen our emotional connection with the audience, and by the end of the night, each of us had practiced really emotionally connecting with each other through the pieces we were performing..
While the music was beautiful and touching, I think what I valued most was the emotional connectedness I felt when each of us was willing to be emotionally open and vulnerable through our performances.
So, after studio class, not only was I thinking about how to improve my singing, I was thinking about ways to increase the occurrences of emotional connectedness in my life.

Friday, January 13, 2006 On the Limits of Empathy and Emotional Distance (with some poetry thrown in for good measure) I’ve been thinking a lot about the issues of emotions and empathy the past week, mostly because my life has been pretty emotionally crazy and I’m feeling distant from most of the people around me.
Then she concludes the poem with thoughts about her own and others’ emotional states, ending on the image of a “heart” opening like a flower and bursting (“dissilent”):.
While I believe in the importance of humans reaching out to one another in order to find some kind of emotional comfort, I’ve been thinking recently about how difficult that is to achieve sometimes.
We get too consumed with our own emotional states, we don’t really listen to others, we say phrases that are meant to be comforting while emotionally backing off.
Also, there are times when you are really putting in emotional energy to understand someone else, yet it just doesn’t seem to be adequate.
I cycle from wanting emotionally intense and connected relationships to being emotionally removed from others because of the inadequacies of relationships, and I’m left confused about what to do.
