The Brain and Emotion

The Brain and Emotion

by EdmundT.Rolls (Author)

Synopsis

In The Brain and Emotion, Edmund Rolls provides a modern neuroscience-based approach to understanding the brain mechanisms involved in emotion, and motivated behaviours such as hunger, thirst, sexual behaviour and addiction. Rolls links his analysis of the neural structures and mechanisms of emotion and motivation to a wider consideration of what emotions are, how they evolved, and why emotional and motivational feelings - and ultimately consciousness itself - might arise in the brain.
