TLDR
Middling arousability can be conceived as the neurophysiological basis of high general intelligence or "g" - that is, high IQ is associated with combinations of neurological parameters which determine an intermediate degree of "arousability" in the cerebral cortex and related structures. Expand

What's basic about basic emotions?
TLDR
The view that there exist basic emotions out of which all other emotions are built, and in terms of which they can be explained, is questioned, raising the possibility that this position is an article of faith rather than an empirically or theoretically defensible basis for the conduct of emotion research.
