Affective neuroscience : the foundations of human and animal emotions
Jaak Panksepp (Author)
"In Affective Neuroscience, Jaak Panksepp summarizes how the brain-operating systems 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. These issues include relations to human consciousness and the psychiatric implications of this knowledge."--BOOK JACKET
