The Relationship Between Bodily, Autonomic, and Communicative Behaviors and the Experiential and Cognitive Aspects of Emotion

Propose a Topic

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Emotions constitute a complex adaptive system to events and social interactions that challenge an individual. At a basic level, the main function of emotions is to respond in a quick and automatic manner to threatening environmental and social situations that include vegetative and somatic motor reactions. In addition, emotions may elicit higher-order cognitive responses that involve expressive communication with co-specifics and long-term behavioral responses to cope with challenging or novel environmental situations.

The aim of the present Topic is to solicit theoretical, neurophysiological, and neuropsychological papers that contribute to clarifying the different aspects of emotions and related behaviors.
