Title: The entangled brain: the integration of emotion, motivation, and cognition 

Abstract: Research on the “emotional brain” often focuses on specific structures, such as the amygdala and the ventral striatum. In this presentation, I will discuss research that embraces a distributed view of both emotion- and motivation-related processing, as well as efforts to unravel the impact of emotion and motivation across large-scale cortical-subcortical brain networks. In this context, I will discuss experimental paradigms used to study the dynamics of threat- and reward-related processes, as well as their interactions. Taken together, these studies support a framework where emotion and motivation have broad effects on brain and behavior, such that brain parts dynamically assemble together into functional circuits to support complex cognitive-emotional behaviors.
