Jan 15, 2016 · Scientists believe that emotions arose in higher organisms because they helped them survive. Problems with biological systems that regulate the emotions often have precisely the opposite effect: having major depression or chronic, acute anxiety makes daily survival that much more difficult.

Since emotions are evolutionarily evolved products of brain function, it may reveal crucial to investigate how emotion states are implemented across diverse species, wherever possible including classical and non-typical model organisms . Only this approach may allow us to extract universal principles of emotions and their neuronal basis and distinguish them from mechanistic details in specific ...
Jan 18, 2013 · Abstract. Feelings are mental experiences of body states. They signify physiological need (for example, hunger), tissue injury (for example, pain), optimal function (for example, well-being ...

Nov 2, 2023 · This list can arguably include the emotion (the bioregulatory response and its physiological manifestation in the body), the behavior that is caused by it, expressions of emotions (facial, bodily, vocal), the subjective experience of emotion (feeling), and the social aspects: recognition of emotional behavior or expressions, feelings about the emotional expressions of others, and metacognitive ...
During an emotion, activity in the brain triggers responses in the body. For example, during fear, the heart may beat faster. During sadness, tears may well up in the eyes. For a long time, scientists thought individual emotions arose from specific regions of the brain: The amygdala was thought to be responsible for fear, for example.

Abstract. Basic tendencies to detect and respond to significant events are present in the simplest single cell organisms, and persist throughout all invertebrates and vertebrates. Within vertebrates, the overall brain plan is highly conserved, though differences in size and complexity also exist. The forebrain differs the most between mammals ...
