| 0:00.0 | Welcome to brain science, the podcast that explores how neuroscience is trying to unravel the mystery of how our brains make us human. |
| 0:12.9 | This is episode 151, and I'm your host, Dr. Ginger Campbell. Today we will be talking about the neuroscience of emotion. |
| 0:34.1 | But before we get started, I want to remind you that you will find complete show notes and episode transcripts at brain sciencepodcast.com, and you can send me email at brainsciencepodcast at gmail.com. |
| 0:40.6 | After the episode, I hope you will check out the show notes because they will contain links to many of our previous episodes about emotion. Also, don't forget to send me an email if you're |
| 0:47.5 | interested in going with me on my trip to Australia in May 2019. And please listen all the way through to the end of this episode because I want to |
| 0:58.1 | tell you about the new podcast I just launched a few weeks ago. |
| 1:06.1 | This episode is largely based on the book, The Neuroscience of Emotion, a new synthesis by |
| 1:13.4 | Ralph Adolfs and David J. Anderson. |
| 1:16.7 | I'm always on the lookout for good books about emotion because I think it's one of the most |
| 1:21.5 | fascinating areas of study. |
| 1:24.5 | This book is a rather unusual in that Adolfs and Anderson do not propose any sort of theory of emotion. |
| 1:32.0 | Instead, their goal is to give an overview of the neurobiology of emotion and to propose a framework for moving forward. |
| 1:40.7 | Both are neuroscientists at Caltech. |
| 1:43.7 | Adolf's work focuses on humans, especially fMRI studies, and Anderson studies animals, including |
| 1:50.3 | mice and flies. |
| 1:52.1 | Thus, they bring a very important perspective to the conversation. |
| 1:56.4 | While some researchers argue that animals lack emotions, their stance is that not only do animals have |
| 2:03.4 | emotions, but the study of emotions in animals is essential to understanding emotions in humans. |
| 2:10.3 | By the end of this episode, you will understand why they take this position. |
| 2:15.3 | The reason they focus on creating a new framework is because it's not |
| 2:18.4 | easy for scientists working in very different areas to share their work with one another. They |
| 2:23.5 | hope to create a framework that will work across disciplines and make it easier for different |
