Abstract in brief

  • Feelings are mental experiences that reflect bodily states, indicating things like physiological needs (hunger), injuries (pain), or well-being; they also signal threats (fear, anger) and social interactions (love, compassion).
  • They are essential for regulating life processes, from basic survival to complex social behavior, and originate from various levels of the nervous system, including neurons, subcortical areas, and cortical regions.
  • The neurobiological and evolutionary origins of feelings highlight their role in helping organisms adapt and respond to their internal and external environments effectively.]
