No evidence that pain is painful neural process
TL;DR: It is claimed that fish do not feel pain because they lack the neural structures that have a contingent causal role in generating and feeling pain in mammals, and it is argued that no conclusive evidence supports the sufficiency of any mammalian neural structure to produce pain.

Which types of rooting material give weaner pigs most pleasure
TL;DR: Peat, and peat in combination with straw and silage, were the most consistently effective rooting materials for inducing positive (i.e. pleasurable) affective states, and reducing behaviours associated with harm, in weaned pigs.

Neuro-Evolutionary Foundations of Infant Minds: From Psychoanalytic Visions of How Primal Emotions Guide Constructions of Human Minds toward Affective Neuroscientific Understanding of Emotions and Their Disorders
TL;DR: As Louis Sander understood, human infants are evolutionarily endowed with emotional minds that allow them to experience themselves as affectively vibrant creatures who seek to be recognized as imp... as discussed by the authors.

Animal Welfare at the Group Level: More Than the Sum of Individual Welfare?
F. Ohl,R. J. Putman +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that actual perceived welfare status of individuals in a population may vary over a wide range even under identical environmental conditions, which would imply that optimum welfare of a social group might be achieved in situations where individual group members differ markedly in apparent welfare status and perceive their own welfare as being optimal under differing circumstances.

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason and the Human Brain
TL;DR: Brain books are similarly popular: humans are considered from a pathological/laboratory perspective and computer metaphors abound (your mind is your software!) and there are boxes and arrows in profusion.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework for the neurobiological analysis of affect is presented, based on the concepts of affective neuroscience and affective operating systems, and subjectivity.
