The discipline of affective neuroscience is concerned with the neural bases of emotion and mood. The past 30 years have witnessed an explosion of research in affective neuroscience that has addressed questions such as: which brain systems underlie emotions? How do differences in these systems relate to differences in the emotional experience of individuals? Do different regions underlie different emotions, or are all emotions a function of the same basic brain circuitry? How does emotion…

Brain and emotion: Cognitive neuroscience of emotions
TLDR
Not only current research trends and methods but some important brain areas responsible for emotions (e.g., amygdala, anterior cingular cortex, prefrontal cortex) are discussed as well.
The Neural Bases of Emotions
TLDR
This chapter will address past and present theories on the question of “What is emotion?” and will outline the current understanding of the neural mechanisms involved in emotional processing.
Affective neuroscience and psychiatry
TLDR
Affective neuroscience addresses the brain mechanisms underlying emotional behaviour by providing a coherent conceptual framework and is increasingly able to provide a mechanistic explanatory understanding of current therapies and is driving the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
Cortical Asymmetries and Connectivity Patterns in the Valence Dimension of the Emotional Brain
TLDR
A common neural pathway for processing positive and negative emotions, but with different activation patterns is suggested, which is encouraging for elucidating the neuronal circuits of the emotional valence dimension.
Brushstrokes of the Emotional Brain: Cortical Asymmetries for Valence Dimension
TLDR
A study of cortical asymmetries based on the spectral power and differential entropy of the electroencephalographic signal of 24 subjects stimulated with videos of positive and negative emotional content has shown different interhemispheric asymmets throughout the cortex, presenting opposite patterns for both emotional categories.
Affective neuroscience: a primer with implications for forensic psychology
ABSTRACT Emotions have important implications for many aspects of cognition and behaviour, including those that are of concern to forensic psychologists. This review article provides an overview of…

Cognitive-Emotional Interactions in the Brain
TLDR
Emotional experiences, it is proposed, result when stimulus representations, affect representations, and self representations coincide in working memory.
Subcortical and cortical brain activity during the feeling of self-generated emotions
TLDR
The hypothesis that the process of feeling emotions requires the participation of brain regions that are involved in the mapping and/or regulation of internal organism states is tested, indicating the close relationship between emotion and homeostasis.
Rethinking Feelings: An fMRI Study of the Cognitive Regulation of Emotion
TLDR
Functional magnetic resonance imaging findings support the hypothesis that prefrontal cortex is involved in constructing reappraisal strategies that can modulate activity in multiple emotion-processing systems.
Neural Correlates of Levels of Emotional Awareness: Evidence of an Interaction between Emotion and Attention in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex
TLDR
This work used positron emission tomography and 15O-water to measure cerebral blood flow in healthy women during film- and recall-induced emotion and correlated CBF changes attributable to emotion with subjects' scores on the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS), a measure of individual differences in the capacity to experience emotion in a differentiated and complex way.
A Theory of Emotion, and its Application to Understanding the Neural Basis of Emotion
TLDR
The amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex are seen to be of great importance for emotions, in that they are involved respectively in the elicitation of learned emotional responses, and in the correction or adjustment of these emotion responses.

What happens in our brains to make us feel fear, love, hate, anger, joy? do we control our emotions, or do they control us? Do animals have emotions? How can traumatic experiences in early childhood…
[Functional neuroanatomy of emotions].
TLDR
Structural-morphological neural areas of emotion regulation in "psychopathy" show variant activation patterns in fMRI, suggesting the neural basis of emotional impairment could be a dysfunctional medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala.
