Emotions arise from activations of specialized neuronal populations in several parts of
the cerebral cortex, notably the anterior cingulate, insula, ventromedial prefrontal, and subcortical
structures, such as the amygdala, ventral striatum, putamen, caudate nucleus, and ventral tegmental
area. Feelings are conscious, emotional experiences of these activations that contribute to neuronal
networks mediating thoughts, language, and behavior, thus enhancing the ability to predict, learn,
and reappraise stimuli and situations in the environment based on previous experiences. Contemporary theories of emotion converge around the key role of the amygdala as the central subcortical
emotional brain structure that constantly evaluates and integrates a variety of sensory information
from the surroundings and assigns them appropriate values of emotional dimensions, such as valence, intensity, and approachability. The amygdala participates in the regulation of autonomic and
endocrine functions, decision-making and adaptations of instinctive and motivational behaviors to
changes in the environment through implicit associative learning, changes in short- and long-term
synaptic plasticity, and activation of the fight-or-flight response via efferent projections from its
central nucleus to cortical and subcortical structures. [-]
