Overview
The Brain and Emotion provides a modern neuroscience-based approach to information processing of the brain, focusing on the brain mechanisms involved with emotion, motivation, punishment, and reward. Coverage of motivated behavior includes discussions of hunger, thirst, sexual behavior, and addiction. The author links his analysis of neural structures and mechanisms of emotion and motivation to a broader consideration of what emotions are, how they evolved, and why emotion and motivated feelings, and ultimately consciousness itself, arises in the brain.
The book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations.
