valence (pleasantness) and intensity. Valance can be positive
(appetitive) or negative (aversive). Intensity describes the
strength of emotion from low to high levels. In animals, we often
describe the level of emotional ‘arousal’ as an indication of
intensity.
When we have too many emotions, this can lead to problems, such
as major depression, phobias, anxiety, compulsive disorder,
borderline personality disorder, and drug or alcohol abuse.

The autonomic nervous system
The information goes from the hypothalamus to the central
nervous system via preganglionic neurons in the brainstem/lateral
horn of the spinal cord, to the autonomic nervous system in the Emotional processing
ganglia. The limbic system is a structure in the brain that is involved in
behavioural and emotional processing, the structures of the limbic
system are:
• Cingulate gyrus
• Parahippocampal gyrus
• Orbital & medial prefrontal cortex
• Mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus
• Basal ganglia
• Hypothalamus
• Amygdala
Voluntary and involuntary motor control in emotions
Duchenne did an experiment where he stimulated the facial
muscles to induce an emotional response. He discovered that the
fake smile was driven by voluntary muscle contraction that was
mediated via the control of the motor cortex. The “Duchenne
smile” conveyed a genuine happy face, which was mediated via
spontaneous emotion.
