Affective consciousness: Core emotional feelings in animals and humans.
TL;DR: The claim is that a direct neuroscientific study of primary process emotional/affective states is best achieved through the study of the intrinsic ("instinctual"), albeit experientially refined, emotional action tendencies of other animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a general psychobiological theory of emotions
TL;DR: The possibility that emotions are elaborated by transhypothalamic executive circuits that concurrently activate related behavior patterns is assessed and the manner in which learning and psychiatric disorders may arise from activities of such circuits is discussed.
Book
Violence, aggression & coercive actions
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory that focuses on social conflicts and the concepts of power, influence, social identity and retributive justice is described, and a critique of traditional theories of aggression is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does sexual selection explain human sex differences in aggression
TL;DR: It is argued that the magnitude and nature of sex differences in aggression, their development, causation, and variability, can be better explained by sexual selection than by the alternative biosocial version of social role theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral functions of the mesolimbic dopaminergic system: an affective neuroethological perspective.
TL;DR: The affective neuroethological perspective presented here views the ML-DA system in terms of its ability to activate an instinctual emotional appetitive state (SEEKING) evolved to induce organisms to search for all varieties of life-supporting stimuli and to avoid harms.

Directed attack elicited from hypothalamus.
Marvin Wasman,John P. Flynn +1 more
TL;DR: In intact cats that electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus produced patterns expressive of rage, which despite the presence of the cortex failed to culminate in directed attack, Masserman 10 concluded thatThe hypothalamus plays a minimal role in affective experience and behavior.

The Norway Rat's Killing Response To the White Mouse : an Experimental Analysis 1)
TL;DR: Adaptation to the environment increased the number of mice-killers among wild rats, and reduced the delay of the killing response, and this delay was considerably increased when wild rats were transferred from their habitual environment into a new one.
