Emotion is often intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation.On some theories, cognition is an important aspect of emotion. Those acting primarily on emotion may seem as if they are not thinking, but mental processes are still essential, particularly in the interpretation of events.here are some theories on emotions arguing that cognitive activity in the form of judgements, evaluations, or thoughts are necessary in order for an emotion to occur. A prominent philosophical exponent is Robert C. Solomon (for example, The Passions, Emotions and the Meaning of Life, 1993).

Biology of Emotion The Limbic System. The region of the brain that is related to the recognition and regulation of emotion is called the limbic system. The limbic system is composed of the amygdala, hippocampus, septum, anterior thalamic nuclei, septum, fornix and limbic cortex. The amygdala is the part of the limbic system that regulates emotions.

The Science of Laughter Psychology Today. The Science of Laughter. Far from mere reactions to jokes, hoots and hollers are serious business: They're innate -- and important -- social tools. Whether overheard in a crowded restaurant, punctuating the enthusiastic chatter of friends, or as the noisy guffaws on a TV laugh track, laughter is a fundamental part of everyday life.

Emotion Emotion. Most people have little problem recognizing and identifying when we are having an emotion. However, emotion is one of the most difficult concepts in Psychology to define. In fact, emotion is such a difficult concept to define adequately that there are at least 90 different definitions of emotions in the scientific literature. A simple definition of emotion is that it is a response by a whole organism, involving (1) physical arousal, (2) expressive behaviors, and (3) conscious experience.

- All human emotions are, in a loose sense, “self-relevant.” Emotions arise when something self-. relevant happens or is about to happen. In the language of appraisal theory (Lazarus, 1966), we. experience emotions when we judge that events have positive or negative significance for our well-. being.

Chemoreception - How it works As we have noted, the changes in the outside environment that the brain interprets as sensation are either physical or chemical in origin. By physical, we mean the types of data and phenomena that are studied in the science of physics: matter, energy, and the interactions between them.

Emotion In psychology and philosophy, emotion typically includes a subjective, conscious experience characterized primarily by psychophysiological expressions, biological reactions, and mental states. A similar multicomponential description of emotion is found in sociology. For example, Peggy Thoits described emotions as involving physiological components, cultural or emotional labels (anger, surprise, etc.), expressive body actions, and the appraisal of situations and contexts.

What Parts of the Human Brain Correspond to Emotion or Love? Emotions, like fear and love, are carried out by the limbic system, which is located in the temporal lobe. While the limbic system is made up of multiple parts of the brain, the center of emotional processing is the amygdala, which receives input from other brain functions, like memory and attention.

How our brains can control our emotions It’s these and other insights in the field that are beginning to uncover how emotions are encoded in the brain. The hope is that these intriguing findings will also provide a better understanding of how an emotion can go wrong in psychiatric disorders like depression, and how we can go about treating it.e all know humans have a complex range of emotions – from anger to fear, aggression to happiness. For something so familiar to all of us, it’s amazing how vexing and difficult a problem it still is in brain science. David Anderson, professor of biology at California Institute for Technology, hopes this will change.

Emotions One of the problems with the James-Lange theory is that emotions seem to happen too quickly to be accounted for by the release of chemical messengers and the changes they cause. Another problem is that different emotions (for example fear and anger) have been shown to cause the same physical responses.

- James-Lange Theory of Emotion. The James-Lange theory of emotion was proposed by psychologist William James and physiologist Carl Lange in the mid 1880s. This theory states that our emotions are caused by our interpretation of bodily reactions.ccording to the James-Lange theory of emotion, observing something leads to a physiological reaction, and the way your brain interprets your body's physical reaction impacts your emotional response.

- Page 1. Understanding Emotionality. Until relatively recently, it was thought that animals did not experience emotions (fear, frustration, anger, sadness, depression, pleasure etc.) in the same way as humans. Rather, their behaviour was an. automatic, instinctive response, void of any of the feelings known so well to humans.
