TLDR
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.About:

Pleasure Systems in the Brain
TL;DR: Human neuroimaging studies indicate that surprisingly similar circuitry is activated by quite diverse pleasures, suggesting a common neural currency shared by all.

Ventromedial hypothalamic neurons control a defensive emotion state
Prabhat S. Kunwar,Moriel Zelikowsky,Ryan Remedios,Haijiang Cai,Melis Yilmaz,Markus Meister,David J. Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: Optogenetic manipulations indicate that the hypothalamus plays an integral role to instantiate emotion states, and is not simply a passive effector of upstream emotion centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of feelings: evolutionary and neurobiological origins
TL;DR: Feelings constitute a crucial component of the mechanisms of life regulation, from simple to complex, and can be found at all levels of the nervous system, from individual neurons to subcortical nuclei and cortical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coming to terms with fear
TL;DR: A conception of so-called fear conditioning in terms of circuits that operate nonconsciously, but that indirectly contribute to conscious fear, is proposed as way forward.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory.
TL;DR: A basic evolutionary approach to emotion is highlighted to understand the effects of emotion on learning and memory and the functional roles played by various brain regions and their mutual interactions in relation to emotional processing.

Buprenorphine treatment of refractory depression
TL;DR: A possible role for buprenorphine in treating refractory depression is suggested for the population of depressed patients who are unresponsive to or intolerant of conventional antidepressant agents.

Neurobiology of 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations in rats: Electrode mapping, lesion, and pharmacology studies
TL;DR: The proposition that 50-kHz calls are tightly linked to reward in rats and that the neural circuit of 50- kHz calls closely overlaps that of ESB self-stimulation reward, drug reward, and the mesolimbic dopamine system is consistent.

Neural bases of food-seeking: Affect, arousal and reward in corticostriatolimbic circuits ☆
TL;DR: Evidence points to two distinct learning processes and four modulatory processes that contribute to the performance of food-related instrumental actions that are functionally integrated within larger neural systems.

Neuroanatomical correlates of brainstem coma.
Josef Parvizi,Antonio R. Damasio +1 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that lesions confined to the upper pons can cause coma in humans even in the absence of damage to the midbrain and point to the brainstem nuclei whose lesions are likely to be associated with loss of consciousness and fatal hyperthermia in humans.
