- Summary: New research reveals that mixed emotions, like feeling both happy and sad, are processed in distinct areas of the brain. While brain regions tied to rapid emotional responses treat positive and negative feelings as separate, advanced cortical areas integrate these emotions into complex, coexisting experiences.

A recent study from a team of neuroscientists at the University of Southern California is helping shed light on how these mixed emotions are processed in the brain, specifically evaluating whether they’re associated with a unique pattern of neural activity or if people merely “flip-flop” between two states.
