16. The correct answer is Option A. The modern approach to the study of neuroscience made significant advances because animal models were used for the first time.
17. The correct answer is Option D. The association of the CS and US takes place in the central nuclei of the amygdala.
18. The correct answer is Option D. Bilateral damage to the amygdala is most likely to impair facial recognition required for social interactions.
19. The correct answer is Option D. According to William James theory of emotion, sensory feedback from the muscles and internal organs are the most essential for the experience of emotion.
