The emotional life of animals
How can emotional reactions be measured in creatures that cannot verbally describe their feelings, such as animals? Many answers have been given to this question in the history of psychology and neuroscience, and Paul and Mendl offer a thoughtful review and analysis in the theory section of this issue. In my commentary, the merits of various definitions of emotion based on different criteria are compared. These definitions use measures ranging fr…
The rise of affectivism
Liking, wanting, and the incentive-sensitization theory of addiction
Rewards are both "liked" and "wanted," and those 2 words seem almost interchangeable. However, the brain circuitry that mediates the psychological process of "wanting" a particular reward is dissociable from circuitry that mediates the degree to which it is "liked." Incentive salience or "wanting," a form of motivation, is generated by large and robust neural systems that include mesolimbic dopamine. By comparison, "liking," or the actual pleasur…

The Neuroscience of Happiness and Pleasure
The pursuit of happiness is a preoccupation for many people - and probably has been ever since the emergence of Homo sapiens sapiens. The scientific understanding of the brain basis of happiness and its pursuit is, however, still in its infancy. Here we focus on recent scientific research on the closely related concepts of pleasure and desire, and discuss their underlying neural mechanisms and their roles in happiness. We also speculate on potent…

Affective neuroscience of pleasure
The incentive sensitization theory of addiction
We present a brief overview of the incentive sensitization theory of addiction. This posits that addiction is caused primarily by drug-induced sensitization in the brain mesocorticolimbic systems that attribute incentive salience to reward-associated stimuli. If rendered hypersensitive, these systems cause pathological incentive motivation (‘wanting’) for drugs. We address some current questions including: what is the role of learning in incentiv…
The debate over dopamine’s role in reward
Differential subjective and psychophysiological responses to socially and nonsocially generated emotional stimuli
Sociality may determine the subjective experience and physiological response to emotional stimuli. Film segments induced socially and nonsocially generated emotions. Comedy (social positive), bereavement (social negative), pizza scenes (nonsocial positive), and wounded bodies (nonsocial negative) elicited four distinct emotional patterns. Per subjective report, joy, sadness, appetite, and disgust were elicited by the targeted stimulus condition. …
Unconscious Affective Reactions to Masked Happy Versus Angry Faces Influence Consumption Behavior and Judgments of Value
The authors explored three properties of basic, unconsciously triggered affective reactions: They can influence consequential behavior, they work without eliciting conscious feelings, and they interact with motivation. The authors investigated these properties by testing the influence of subliminally presented happy versus angry faces on pouring and consumption of beverage (Study 1), perception of beverage value (Study 2), and reports of consciou…
Motivation concepts in behavioral neuroscience
Unconscious Emotion
Conscious feelings have traditionally been viewed as a central and necessary ingredient of emotion. Here we argue that emotion also can be genuinely unconscious. We describe evidence that positive and negative reactions can be elicited subliminally and remain inaccessible to introspection. Despite the absence of subjective feelings in such cases, subliminally induced affective reactions still influence people's preference judgments and even the a…
Parsing reward
Irrational Wanting and Subrational Liking
People's wanting and liking reactions reflect not only high‐level beliefs, but also the operation of rudimentary biopsychological processes. Previous studies suggest that the following wanting and liking processes may be relevant to political behavior: irrational wanting (where wanting is triggered by activation of the brain dopamine system and becomes dissociated from liking); unconscious liking and wanting (where evaluative judgments and behavi…
Addiction
The development of addiction involves a transition from casual to compulsive patterns of drug use. This transition to addiction is accompanied by many drug-induced changes in the brain and associated changes in psychological functions. In this article we present a critical analysis of the major theoretical explanations of how drug-induced alterations in psychological function might cause a transition to addiction. These include: (a) the tradition…
Incentive‐sensitization and addiction
The question of addiction concerns the process by which drug‐taking behavior, in certain individuals, evolves into compulsive patterns of drug‐seeking and drug‐taking behavior that take place at the expense of most other activities, and the inability to cease drug‐taking, that is, the problem of relapse. In this paper we summarize one view of this process, the "incentive‐sensitization" view, which we first proposed in 1993. Four major tenets of t…
