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 ...
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.
Jan 18, 2013 · 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), threats to the ...

Oct 1, 2011 · Subtle analyses of animal behavior in natural environments, especially our primate cousins and domesticated companion animals, certainly suggest that other animals do have more subtle emotions, and even episodic memories and degrees of cognitive reflections, built upon the basic seven systems described above (e.g., Clayton et al., 2003). There are now abundant behavioral demonstrations of ...
