Above all, my goal is to provide theoretical tools for empirical and theoretical discussions on this recent issue.Īggleton, J. I also discuss how LeDoux and Brown's model of conscious emotion explains and interprets some recurring topics in the literature on emotion, such as nonhuman emotional experience, prefrontal functioning, freezing behavior, emotion regulation, and pleasure mechanisms. I assess on what this model is based, its explanatory power, and what it means for the interpretation and discussion of empirical data.

Here, I assess the new ideas brought by this model to the field. In the literature on emotion, it is common to associate this phenomenon with unconscious and/or subcortical mechanisms directly linked to survival circuits, which is recurringly called “traditional view of emotion.” However, LeDoux and Brown have recently proposed that emotion is a high-order and cortical process carried out by what he calls general networks of cognition (GNC), which consists mainly of prefrontal mechanisms.
