Beyond brain regions: network perspective of cognition-emotion interactions

Luiz Pessoa. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

Lindquist et al. provide a convincing case against what they call the locationist account of emotion. Their quantitative approach elegantly illustrates the shortcomings of this still-entrenched viewpoint. Here, I discuss how a network perspective will advance our understanding of structure-function mappings in general, and the relationship between emotion and cognition in the brain.
