What produces emotions? Why do we have emotions? How do we have
emotions? Why do emotional states feel like something? What is the
relation between emotion, and reward value, and subjective feelings
of pleasure? How is the value of a good represented in the brain?
Will neuroeconomics replace classical microeconomics? How does the
brain implement decision-making? Are gene-defined rewards and
emotions in the interests of the genes, and does rational multistep
planning enable us to go beyond selfish genes to long-term plans
and social contracts in the interests of the individual? This book
seeks explanations of emotion and decision-making by considering
these questions. The topics covered include: The nature of emotion,
and a theory of emotion The functions of emotion, including a
Darwinian theory of the adaptive value of emotion, which helps to
illuminate many aspects of brain design and behaviour The brain
mechanisms of emotion Affective states and motivated behaviour:
hunger and sexual behaviour The pharmacology of emotion, and brain
mechanisms for action Neuroeconomics, and the foundation of
economic value Decision-making Emotional feelings, and
consciousness Neural networks involved in emotion The book will be
valuable for those in the fields of neuroscience and neurology,
psychology, psychiatry, and philosophy
