The Entangled Brain: Integration of Emotion, Motivation, and Cognition
University of Maryland, College Park
Department of Psychology
Research on the “emotional brain” often focuses on specific structures, such as the amygdala and the ventral striatum. In this presentation, I will discuss research that embraces a distributed view of both emotion- and motivation-related processing, as well as efforts to unravel the impact of emotion and motivation across large-scale cortical-subcortical brain networks. In this context, I will discuss experimental paradigms used to study the dynamics of threat- and reward-related processes, as well as their interactions. Taken together, these studies support a framework where emotion and motivation have broad effects on brain and behavior, such that brain parts dynamically assemble together into functional circuits to support complex cognitive-emotional behaviors.
