Different Populations of Neurons in the Preoptic Area
1:04:01 - 1:14:15 (10:14)
The preoptic area has many subsets of neurons that are specifically active during different behaviors and even different phases of mating behavior. By stimulating certain neurons in the medial preoptic area, you can trigger changes in body temperature and mating behavior.

The addition of a forebrain in humans can facilitate the expression of primitive behaviors, such as fetishes, and complicate it at the same time, according to Larry Swanson.

Summary
The addition of a forebrain in humans can facilitate the expression of primitive behaviors, such as fetishes, and complicate it at the same time, according to Larry Swanson. Swason underscores how fetishes represent a repetitive conditioning where something that is natively aversive changes its valence by being repeatedly paired with a rewarding experience.

Summary
The preoptic area has various populations of neurons that are active during different behaviors and phases of mating, aggression or temperature changes, and can be triggered through stimulation. Imaging experiments indicate that specific neurons are responsible for aggression behavior.

The brain functions to maintain a proper balance between energy conservation and energy consumption during different behaviors.

Summary
The brain functions to maintain a proper balance between energy conservation and energy consumption during different behaviors. Thermoregulation could be tied to both aggressiveness and mating behaviors due to the involvement of hormones and different competing forces that operate together in these processes.
