Abstract in brief

  • Emotions originate from activations in specific brain areas like the cerebral cortex (including the anterior cingulate, insula, and prefrontal cortex) and subcortical structures (such as the amygdala and ventral striatum), which influence feelings and behaviors.
  • The amygdala plays a central role in emotion by constantly evaluating sensory information, assigning emotional value, and regulating automatic functions like heart rate and stress responses, thereby helping us adapt and react to our environment.
  • Feelings are the conscious experiences of these emotional activations, which help us think, communicate, and make decisions based on past experiences, enabling better prediction, learning, and re-evaluation of stimuli.]
