Summary:
In Affective Neuroscience, Jaak Panksepp provides the most up-to-date
information about the brain-operating systems that organize the
fundamental emotional tendencies of all mammals. Presenting complex
material in a readable manner, the book offers a comprehensive
summary of the fundamental neural sources of human and animal
feelings, as well as a conceptual framework for studying emotional
systems of the brain. Panksepp approaches emotions from the
perspective of basic emotion theory but does not fail to address the
complex issues raised by constructionist approaches.
