Abstract in brief

  • Jaak Panksepp established Affective Neuroscience in the 1990s, focusing on studying primary emotional systems in the brain across different species using methods like electrical stimulation, drugs, and brain lesions.
  • He identified seven core emotional systems: SEEKING, CARE, PLAY, and LUST (positive emotions), and FEAR, SADNESS, and ANGER (negative emotions), which are linked to mental health issues like depression when imbalanced.
  • The field of Pankseppian Affective Neuroscience explores both brain mechanisms and their applications in areas like personality psychology, emphasizing its importance in understanding the biological basis of emotions and psychiatric disorders.
