Abstract
Modern neuroscience is on the verge of exploring new frontiers within various
subdisciplines.
The question of how our brain with over hundred billion neurons puts together cognition,
emotion and behavior has always been captivating. As such, the study of neural processes
through which we not only maintain our survival and homeostasis, but also stay
productive and functional, has attracted cognitive neuroscientists for decades. With the
advent of neurotechnologies and ever-growing research facilities, modern neuroscience
has seen a tremendous progress in dealing with such questions. This letter argues the most
referenced theories with respect to key concepts in affective neuroscience, i.e. fear, love
and related emotions or traits. We hope the present letter is found thought-provoking with
regards to further theoretical models and empirical research in affective neuroscience and
neuropsychology.
