"A new framework for the neuroscientific study of emotions in humans and animals The Neuroscience of Emotion presents a new framework for the neuroscientific study of emotion across species. Written by Ralph Adolphs and David J. Anderson, two leading authorities on the study of emotion, this accessible and original book recasts the discipline and demonstrates that in order to understand emotion, we need to examine its biological roots in ..."
"A full understanding of the biology and behavior of humans cannot be complete without the collective contributions of the social sciences, cognitive sciences, and neurosciences. This book collects eighty-two of the foundational articles in the emerging discipline of social neuroscience. The book addresses five main areas of research: multilevel integrative analyses of social behavior, using the tools of neuroscience, cognitive scienc ..."

"Al finalizar la denominada Década del Cerebro, el Museu de la Ciència de la Fundació “la Caixa” de Barcelona organizó unas jornadas sobre «La evolución del cerebro y la inteligencia», con el fin de constatar los avances en las neurociencias cognitivas y en el estudio de procesos mentales como la memoria, las emociones y la consciencia. Ignacio Morgado Bernal, catedrático de Psicobiología de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, reúne en ..."
"Each edition of this classic reference has proved to be a benchmark in the developing field of cognitive neuroscience. The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpinnings of complex cognition -- the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychol ..."
"Ralph Adolphs would like to thank Tetsuro Matsuzawa, Satoshi Hirata, and the
Primatology and Wildlife Science graduate program at Kyoto University for their
generous hosting of a brief sabbatical in Kyoto in 2016, during which this book
was conceived. I also thank my graduate and postdoctoral mentors for the role
they played in shaping much of the approach to studying emotions presented in
this book. My PhD advisor, Mark Konishi, w ..."
"David G. Amaral, Ralph Adolphs. and attention to threat, and that attention
training may help to involve the PFC to reduce amygdala activation ... When
examining 4- to 6-year-old children, the investigators found that children with
depression showed greater amygdala activation in response to emotional faces
relative to controls (Gaffrey, Barch, Singer, Shenoy, & Luby, 2013). However,
when 7- to 11-year-old children with a history o ..."
"In the last decade, the synergistic interaction of neurosurgeons, engineers, and neuroscientists, combined with new technologies, has enabled scientists to study the awake, behaving human brain directly. These developments allow cognitive processes to be characterized at unprecedented resolution: single neuron activity. Direct observation of the human brain has already led ..."
