腦中有情

內容簡介

每個人都有情緒，它是生活中無法缺席的要角；情緒是那種你知道它是什麼，卻不知該如何下定義的東西；如果我們連情緒是什麼都不知道，又怎能找出大腦對它運作之謎。科學家對情緒的看法眾說紛紜，有人認為是身體的反應，有人說是大腦對身體反應的狀態，更有人認為身體的反應對情緒來說並不那么重要....如果情緒能有個科學的解釋，會是件功德無量之事，它會讓我們了解心智是如何運作的，以及一旦生活層面的瓦解會造成的結果。不過，科學家至今仍無法解釋情緒為何物？本書並非在探討情緒心理層面與大腦功能間的應對關係，而是研究大腦如何從一個新的觀點來了解情緒，並藉由神經系統的內部去了解這些令人困惑的心智狀態。 Joseph LeDoux is the Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science at NYU in the Center for Neural Science, and he directs the Emotional Brain Institute of NYU and the Nathan Kline Institute.
