A higher-order theory of emotional consciousness

The basic emotional circuits of mammalian brains: do animals have affective lives?
TL;DR: Since all vertebrates appear to have some capacity for primal affective feelings, the implications for animal-welfare and how the authors ethically treat other animals are vast.

Mapping the connectivity underlying multimodal (verbal and non-verbal) semantic processing: A brain electrostimulation study
TL;DR: This work highlights for the first time the essential role of the left inferior fronto-occipital fascicle in multimodal semantic processing and suggests its possible implication in the monitoring of the human level of consciousness related to semantic memory, namely noetic consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autism as a developmental disorder in intentional movement and affective engagement
TL;DR: It is proposed, with evidence of the disturbances of posture, locomotion and prospective motor control in children with autism, that examination of the psychobiology of motor affective disorders, rather than later developing cognitive or linguistic ones, may facilitate early diagnosis.

Cognitive and emotional influences in anterior cingulate cortex
TL;DR: Various findings are reviewed in relation to the idea that ACC is a part of a circuit involved in a form of attention that serves to regulate both cognitive and emotional processing, and how the success of this regulation in controlling responses might be correlated with cingulate size.
