El cerebro emocional: creación, procesamiento y transmisión de emociones
The modern understanding of emotion creation, processing and transmitting is usually connected with James Papez’ studies and findings. According to Anita Deak: “Papez (1937) has described not one single center for emotions (such as the thalamus or the hypothalamus) but a neural circuit within several brain structures. The Papez circuit consists of the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the mamillary bodies, the cingular gyrus, and the hippocampus (Dalgleish, 2004). He has also suggested pathways among these structures where information is transmitted during an emotional state. (…)
The limbic system has often been mentioned as the central region for emotions. (…) The limbic system consists of the Papez circuit extended with the septal areas, the nucleus accumbens, the amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex” (Deak, 2011: 72).
