A new framework for the neuroscientific study of emotions in humans
and animals The Neuroscience of Emotion presents a new framework
for the neuroscientific study of emotion across species. Written by
Ralph Adolphs and David J. Anderson, two leading authorities on the
study of emotion, this accessible and original book recasts the
discipline and demonstrates that in order to understand emotion, we
need to examine its biological roots in humans and animals. Only
through a comparative approach that encompasses work at the
molecular, cellular, systems, and cognitive levels will we be able
to comprehend what emotions do, how they evolved, how the brain
shapes their development, and even how we might engineer them into
robots in the future. Showing that emotions are ubiquitous across
species and implemented in specific brain circuits, Adolphs and
Anderson offer a broad foundation for thinking about emotions as
evolved, functionally defined biological states. The authors
discuss the techniques and findings from modern neuroscientific
investigations of emotion and conclude with a survey of theories
and future research directions. Featuring color illustrations
throughout, The Neuroscience of Emotion synthesizes the latest in
neuroscientific work to provide deeper insights into how emotions
function in all of us.
